The Philadelphia Phillies faced a significant setback as Bryce Harper was placed on the 10-day injured list due to right wrist inflammation, retroactive to Friday. This adds to a rough patch for the Phillies, who have lost seven of their last eight games after leading the NL East. Harper, hitting .258 with nine homers and 34 RBIs this season, previously missed time due to an elbow bruise. The Phillies plan to use Alec Bohm at first base and Edmundo Sosa at third during his absence. Additionally, Otto Kemp was promoted from Triple-A, where he excelled, hitting .317 with 14 home runs this season.
