It's been nearly two weeks since Bryce Harper<\/a> took a 97-mph fastball to the thumb and immediately had to leave the game with what looked like a possible season-ending injury. The Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> superstar underwent surgery to repair his fractured left thumb a few days later, but he's expected to be back in the lineup before the postseason starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, when will Harper return from his thumb injury?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harper fractured his left thumb on June 25 after getting hit by a Blake Snell fastball during a game against the San Diego Padres. The reigning NL MVP underwent surgery a few days later, and he revealed this week that three pins were inserted into his thumb to repair the fracture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will take some time for Harper's thumb to fully heal, but he's confident he'll be able to return to the lineup before the regular season comes to a close in early October. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when? Not even Harper knows the answer to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
