Bryce Harper (elbow) likely to continue to DH

Bryce Harper said he did not feel good when he tested his elbow before Tuesday's game. According to Matt Gelb, the most likely outcome is that Harper will be used as the DH for a "prolonged period." (Matt Gelb on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

This is obviously not great news for Harper, especially becaue the MRI reportedly revealed only a minor elbow strain. It's possible there's a bigger issue underlying Harper's pain that could eventually cause a disruption in his season. For now, however, the injury doesn't affect Harper at the plate, and he's been in the lineup as the DH consistently, while also starting to play better. Don't sell low on Harper because of the injury, but if you want to swap him for fair value to save yourself some consternation, that's not the worst idea.
