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.

Phillies' Bryce Harper 'Can't Really Function' With Current Wrist Injury originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the Philadelphia Phillies continue their intrastate series with the Pittsburgh Pirates, they'll be without the face of the franchise.

The Phillies called up Otto Kemp from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to replace Harper. Kemp, 25, would be making his major-league debut. The non-drafted free agent had been one of the International League's top hitters this season, with 14 home runs, 55 RBIs and a .313 batting average.
