Tests on Harper's elbow revealed a small tear in his UCL, and he will not throw for four weeks, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Harper has served exclusively as Philadelphia's designated hitter since April 17 and that will continue until at least the middle of June. The hope is that he will begin throwing at that time, and he'll also receive a PRP injection Sunday to help mitigate his pain. Though Harper will remain in the lineup most days, the team has announced he will be out Sunday against the Dodgers and perhaps Tuesday for the series opener against the Padres.
