Bryce Harper will be sidelined indefinitely with a broken left thumb after he was hit by a pitch from Blake Snell in Philadelphia’s 4-2 victory over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night.

“I kind of wish it hit me in the face,” said Harper, who was wearing a splint on his thumb.

He added he wasn’t sure what type of fracture Harper had or where on his thumb the injury occurred.

Bryce Harper had to leave the game after taking a pitch off his hand.

Many of the fans at Petco Park fans started to boo Harper after several seconds with Harper shouting at Snell.

“Obviously, I felt terrible hitting him,” Snell said.

Snell added he and Harper were going to see each other after Saturday’s game or on Sunday.

“He is a guy who really isn’t replaceable on an individual basis, but we are going to have to be in a position that other people are going to have to step up,” Dombrowski said

Dombrowski said outfielder Mickey Moniak, the 2016 No 1 overall pick who has struggled in limited action in the majors, would be an option to be called up to help offset the loss of Harper
