Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper exited Wednesday's spring training game after getting hit by a pitch on his right arm in Dunedin, Fla.

Harper was drilled by a 92-mph sinker from Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Richard Lovelady in the top of the sixth inning in what was likely his final at-bat of the game. He went 0-for-2 with a strikeout and the HBP.

Harper, 32, was hit close to his right elbow, which was surgically repaired in 2022.

Harper immediately left the game and was replaced by pinch runner Matt Kroon. Josh Breaux replaced Harper at first base.

The two-time National League Most Valuable Player slugged 30 home runs in 2024 and has 336 for his career.
