their superstar back. However, Harper was injured during his first game after fielding a ball hit off the bat of Freddie Freeman.
While it's concerning since he just returned, there doesn't seem to be much of a worry. Thomson said that if it were a playoff game, the left-handed slugger would be playing, which is all that matters."He can play, but any time with hand and foot injuries, I'm a little bit leery because it changes your swing a little bit," Thomson said, "but if this was a playoff game or anything like that he would play.
Losing Harper for an extended period of time with the second half already here would be devastating, so Thomson is doing the right thing. Factor in the hamstring injury he just came back from, and taking a chance just doesn't make much sense.
