Bryce Harper left the Philadelphia Phillies\' 4-2 win at the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday after being hit on the left elbow by a pitch.
The star isn\'t convinced it\'s worth taking a couple of days off to rest.
\"I just feel like I\'m going to feel the exact same,\" said Harper, who recently acknowledged playing through nagging wrist and elbow issues.
Harper winced in pain and grabbed his elbow after he was struck by a 92 mph fastball from Bowden Francis in the first inning.
He stayed in to run the bases and played defense in the first and second innings. Edmundo Sosa pinch hit for Harper to begin the third and took over at third base, with Kody Clemens moving from third to first.
\"It was stiffening up a little bit, but as of right now, he\'s fine,\" Rob Thomson said. \"I think he could have continued on if we really had to.\"
