Harper day-to-day, but pinch-hits in Phillies’ win

MLB

Philadelphia star Bryce Harper is still out of the starting lineup because of an injured right hand, but he did pinch hit in the Phillies’ 10-7 win over the New York Mets on Sunday.

Harper drew a bases-loaded walk as a seventh-inning pinch-hitter to cap a three-run outburst to widen the Phillies’ advantage to 10-6.

Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said Harper is considered day-to-day and could start Monday night at home against Atlanta.

The Phillies ended the day two games behind the Chicago Cubs for the second NL wild-card spot.

Harper hasn’t started since being hit by a fastball from Mets lefty Steven Matz on Friday night. X-rays were negative.

Harper is hitting .254 with 30 homers, 101 RBIs and an .869 OPS, including 12 homers and a .965 OPS in 30 games since Aug. 1.
