Daily News | The Braves won it all without Ronald Acuña Jr. Can the Phillies even make the playoffs after losing Bryce Harper?
That was Bourn’s reaction, live and on the radio, at 8:07 p.m. in San Diego when Bryce Harper took a 97 mph fastball from Padres starter Blake Snell. Harper hit the deck. His helmet went flying. Padres catcher Jorge Alfaro reached down to check on him. Head athletic trainer Paul Buchheit raced from the dugout. Harper clutched his thumb, got to his feet, turned to Snell and yelled in frustration.
But nobody will feel sorry for the Phillies, either. The Atlanta Braves went 44-29 and won the World Series last year after losing Ronald Acuña Jr. to a torn ligament in his right knee. This season, the Padres have the third-best record in the National League even though Fernando Tatis Jr. hasn’t played a game because of a broken wrist.
Harper will surely miss more than 31 days. Even if he dodges surgery, it could still be months. Every fracture is different, but outfielder Mickey MoniakThe 2007 Phillies also moved quickly to soften the blow of losing Utley. One day later, then-general manager Pat Gillick traded for second baseman Tadahito Iguchi from the Chicago White Sox, and he batted .304 with an .803 OPS in 45 games down the stretch, including .301 while Utley was out.
In discussing the resurgence of Schwarber and Rhys Hoskins atop the batting order, hitting coach Kevin Long said last week that the Phillies “have got to get four and five going,” a reference to $100 million cleanup hitter Nick Castellanos and $115.5 million catcher J.T. Realmuto.
