Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper left Wednesday’s game in Toronto after getting hit on the left elbow by a pitch.

Harper grimaced in pain and held his elbow after being hit by a 92 mph fastball from right-hander Bowden Francis in the first inning.

Harper continued to run the bases and play defense in the first and second innings.

Edmundo Sosa pinch-hit for Harper to start the third inning and took over at third base, with Kody Clemens moving from third to first base.

Harper is batting .282 with 26 home runs and 76 RBIs. The 31-year-old, who recently admitted to dealing with persistent wrist and elbow problems, is in his first full season at first base after right elbow surgery led to his move from right field.

Harper came back 160 days after having Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on November 23, 2022.
