Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper left Saturday’s game against the Miami Marlins after getting hit by a pitch on his surgically repaired right elbow.

Harper was hit in the third inning by a 90-mph sinker from lefty Braxton Garrett. Harper stayed in the game and was caught trying to steal third base. He was replaced by a pinch hitter in the fifth.

X-rays taken after the game were negative.

“Just pretty sore,” he said. “It definitely could have been worse.”

A seven-time All-Star, Harper is batting .287 this season in 244 plate appearances. He has 13 doubles and 23 RBIs.
