Deal Done: k. schwarber Signs a contract Extension of $467.9 million

PHILADELPHIA (AP) The Philadelphia Phillies placed All-Star first baseman Bryce Harper and designated hitter Kyle Schwarber on the 10-day injured list after both were hurt in Thursday night’s 7-4 loss to Miami.

Harper strained his left hamstring running the bases in the ninth inning, and Schwarber strained his left groin making a throw from left field in the eighth.

“Bummed to go on the IL,” Harper said before Friday’s game against the Marlins. “Never wanted that to happen, obviously. But it was the best decision for our team. Hopefully get back in the smartest way possible and quickest way as well.”

Harper wouldn’t specify a timetable for his return, only saying he hopes to be back as soon as possible.

“I really don’t like putting timetables on myself,” he said. “I’m going to try to get back and get my body intact the best way I can and the best way I know how and quickest way possible. Everybody’s bodies are different. I’m going to do my thing to get myself back.
