Philadelphia is 4-3 in Harper's absence and entered Tuesday only one game back of the final NL wild-card spot. The All-Star outfielder, who has been a designated hitter for most of the season, said he experienced 'general soreness' in the immediate days after the surgery but felt better on Monday. 'I don't want to hope or think about anything,' Harper said. 'I just want to go day by day and be back when I can, whenever I feel healthy, whenever that is to help this team win. Granted, if we're out of it, I'm going to come back and play no matter what, just so I know that I can go out there and play the game.
