PITTSBURGH — Bryce Harper has played 57 of the Phillies' 63 games, feeling pain in his right wrist with nearly every swing he's taken.

Harper was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with right wrist inflammation. It's not the first time he's experienced this. Last August, Harper revealed that he'd been playing through wrist pain for three months.
