Phillies star Bryce Harper hit on elbow by pitch; X-rays negative
May 28 - Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper left the team's contest Tuesday night against the visiting Atlanta Braves after being hit on his right elbow by a 95 mph fastball from Spencer Strider during the first inning.
The Phillies confirmed the injury as a contusion and said X-rays were negative. This is the same elbow that Harper surgically repaired two years ago. Harper has steered clear of any additional major injuries to his right elbow since the surgery.
Edmundo Sosa took Harper's spot in the lineup before sliding over to third base. Alec Bohm moved from third to first base beginning in the second inning.
The 32-year-old Harper has tallied eight home runs along with 33 RBIs this season. Harper is also second on the Phillies in OPS (.823).

Signs your air conditioner is making you sick
Harmful mould growth in air conditioning units, especially with increased AC use during hotter months, poses health risks. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled 1.7 million Midea window air conditioners due to potential mould growth, which can cause respiratory issues or infections. Common indoor moulds like Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Aspergillus can trigger allergic reactions and respiratory problems; black mould can cause eye irritation and worsen asthma. The CDC notes that mould can cause symptoms ranging from cold-like symptoms, a skin rash, or burning eyes to severe reactions like fever and shortness of breath, especially in immune-compromised individuals. Experts recommend regular AC maintenance, proper ventilation, and cleaning to prevent mould growth, and advise wearing protective gear like gloves and masks when removing existing mould.
