Harper’s wrist problem wasn’t revealed until Friday, even though he said it has lingered “long enough.” To fill Harper's spot, utility man Otto Kemp was added to the roster.

The scuffling Philadelphia Phillies suffered a blow when they placed first baseman Bryce Harper on the 10-day injured list because of right wrist inflammation before their game losing to the Pirates.

Otto Kemp, the No. 25-ranked prospect in the Phillies organization, will likely make his major league debut in the coming days after having his contract selected by the Phillies from Triple-A.
