A day after an errant fastball bruised his right ankle,
Phillies slugger Bryce Harper said
he had no concerns about being ready for opening day.
Philadelphia manager Gabe Kapler said he wasn't worried
about Harper being set for the opener on March 28 against Atlanta. Harper, who
recently signed a record $330 million, 13-year contract, agreed with that
assessment.
X-rays were negative and Harper was listed as day to day. He
was struck by a 96 mph fastball from Toronto rookie Trent Thornton in the sixth
inning of Friday's game. Harper sat out Saturday's exhibition against Houston.
When asked about dodging a major injury, Harper replied
"I wish I would have dodged the ball."
He's 0 for 5 in 10 plate appearances in four exhibition
games.
