Phillies star downplays concerns about elbow, wrist injuries

Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper downplayed concerns about his elbow and wrist injuries, saying he expects to be fully healthy by the time the playoffs begin in October.

Harper has been dealing with a right elbow injury since July and a left wrist injury since August. He has missed several games this season due to the injuries, but he has continued to play through them.

Harper said he is "feeling good" and is confident that he will be able to return to full health by the playoffs. He said he is "not worried" about the injuries and is "just trying to get back on the field and help the team win."

The Phillies are currently in first place in the NL East and are in good position to make the playoffs.
