Bryce Harper back sooner than expected? Andrew Painter beginning to throw? | Phillies injury update

[@gdn86]

I think Bryce realized its a new kind of injury for him, and hopefully that sits in the back of his mind when risking potentially longer term problems this year, by coming back early. Long term it's not worth the risk.

[@bwilderd5082]

No reason to bring him back sooner than when he is 100%, no less.

[@jamesadams5870]

There is an oversight process in these things. If the Phillies rush him back and he is not medically fit, they will get in trouble.

Missing a month or 5 weeks in a MLB season is nothing its a long season

Would love to see Bryce participate in the Home Run Derby! No need to run just swing the bat! If he's healthy I wouldn't mind seeing him play 2 innings in the ASG as well. Only if he's 100% though.. this is his first one as a Phillie and hes the leading vote getter so selfishly I'd like to see him but it is what it is if he can't participate. His health is priority. The MLB ASG is definitely the best ASG across ALL SPORTS.
