Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper said he will report to spring training on Wednesday to continue his recovery from elbow surgery.
The two-time National League MVP had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on Nov. 23 and is expected to be out until at least the All-Star break.
Harper, 30, originally sustained the injury on April 11 and ended up moving from the outfield to designated hitter for the remainder of the season as the Phillies captured their first pennant since 2009.
Harper hit .286 with 18 homers and 65 RBIs in 99 games last season. He batted .349 with six homers and 13 RBIs in 17 postseason games, with the Phillies losing the World Series to the Houston Astros in six games.
The seven-time All-Star has 285 homers, 817 RBIs and a .280 batting average in 1,382 games with the Washington Nationals (2012-18) and Phillies (2019-22).
