Bryce Harper had elbow surgery – Tommy John – to be exact in the off season. It’s a very serious surgery and recovery takes a while. Bryce was finally in Clearwater with the team, but he’s not able to do much and most likely not be back in the full rotation until mid-summer. Bryce talked to the media today for the first time and updated everyone on his progress.
