Bryce Harper Exits Game After Being Hit By Pitch On Elbow, X-Rays Negative

Harper was hit in the surgically repaired right elbow by a pitch from Marlins starter Braxton Garrett.
Harper initially stayed in the game but was eventually replaced as the designated hitter.
Harper has been playing exclusively as a DH since returning from Tommy John surgery in May.
Harper also played as DH for much of last season after delaying Tommy John surgery until after the postseason.
The Phillies lost Harper's bat at a crucial time as they try to hold onto a playoff spot in the NL East.
