The article highlights critical developments in Major League Baseball, focusing on the health statuses of key players. Bryce Harper of the Philadelphia Phillies suffered an elbow contusion from a pitch but had negative x-rays; he will be re-evaluated due to significant pain. Meanwhile, the Texas Rangers anticipate the return of Corey Seager from the injured list, a notable boost for their offense amidst other injuries. Additionally, a Pirates catcher is under assessment after sustaining a head injury during a game, reflecting the ongoing challenges teams face with player health.
The Phillies endured a scary moment last night when superstar Bryce Harper exited in the first inning after a wayward pitch from Atlanta ace Spencer Strider struck his elbow.
Manager Bruce Bochy told the Rangers beat last night that he 'fully anticipates' Seager to return from the injured list today.
Seager's return to the lineup at shortstop should free up utilityman to play elsewhere, though it's at least plausible that the Rangers could give Seager some starts at DH.
Pirates catcher was struck in the head with a backswing behind the plate last night, and Noah Hiles also reported on the situation.
