According to Rizzo, Harper was getting treatments, such as cupping therapy and an active release technique. Rizzo said he has a low level of concern about Harper's injury. Harper is listed as day to day.
"I just asked Bryce Harper, the training staff and the medical staff. He has never had a right shoulder injury," Rizzo said Friday. "He has a stiff neck that we have been treating -- yes with cupping, yes with ART heat. Harper and about 14 other players on the team [go through the same treatment] on a routine basis. Just like we always do."
Not only is Harper dealing with neck problems, he is in a slump. Since the All-Star break, Harper is 9-for-67 (.134) with one home run and five RBIs.
