Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper is set to return from Tommy John surgery recovery on Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Phillies star is excited to be back, and MLB Network released an epic hype video for his return, per MLB Network on twitter.
“BRYCE IS BACK.”
Bryce Harper was originally expected to be out until July after undergoing Tommy John surgery following the 2022 campaign. The Phillies were prepared for him to help the team during the second half of the 2023 season. Instead, Harper's incredibly quick return comes in May. The Phillies haven't had the best start to the season, but Harper's return will unquestionably help in that regard.
Overall, the Dodgers-Phillies series has had a number of good storylines. Trea Turner made his return to Dodger Stadium on Monday after spending the past year and a half with LA, and now Bryce Harper will make his 2023 debut on Tuesday night. Harper addressed his quick recovery ahead of the game, per ESPN's Alden Gonzalez.
“My body has been very good to me in this process,” Harper said. “I really tried to do everything I could to get to this point. It’s been a grind, coming in each day — on the field or in [the trainer’s room] — just understanding my body and how I feel and where I can push myself mentally and physically.”
Tuesday's game was already expected to receive attention with the Phillies and Dodgers going head-to-head. Now with Harper returning it will draw no shortage of viewership.
