Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber Suffer Injuries Late In Loss
Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber were both injured late in the Philadelphia Phillies\' 7-4 loss to the Miami Marlins on Thursday night.
Harper felt his left hamstring tighten as he was running to first base on the final play of the game.
\"It hurts,\" he said afterward. \"We\'re going to get an image tomorrow just to see what that looks like and see how I feel and go from there.\"
Harper said he has never had a soft-tissue injury like this before, so he doesn\'t know how concerned he should be.
\"If I had something to go back on, I would let you know,\" he said. \"But I\'ve never felt anything like this before.\"
Schwarber felt tightness in his groin while making an awkward throw from the outfield in the top of the ninth. Usually the Phillies\' designated hitter, Schwarber was playing in the field for only the third time this season.
\"I reached down to grab the ball barehanded and kind of planted for the throw and felt it grab,\" he said. \"I thought it was just a cramp at first and I finished the inning. But, as I was running in [between innings] I could still kind of feel it, so I talked to the trainer and he didn\'t like where the spot was ... so he wanted to get me out of there.\"
