Fantasy Impact
Reports are saying that the surgery went "very well," a great sign for Harper. It looks like the outfielder will be forced to miss the first month or so of the season as he recovers. However, he should get back to his MVP-caliber production upon his return, as the impact of Tommy John is much less harsh on hitters than it is on pitchers.
