The Phillies in Philadelphia should be a little nervous. The team’s best hitter, Bryce Harper, has missed the last three spring training games. Harper’s availability for Opening Day is under doubt due to reports that he is recovering from a back issue. After all, back injuries can be difficult to treat, so Philly should proceed with caution.
Harper seemed to be prepared to go as soon as possible, though. The great hitter for the Phillies says he wants to be back in the field by Friday. Todd Zolecki reports that Harper is being cautious because Opening Day is in just over a week.
