Bryce Harper says he'll be fine for October, that the elbow and wrist injuries the two-time NL MVP has played through this Philadelphia Phillies season are more a nuisance than a concern for the postseason.

What choice does Harper have but to feel otherwise?

"I just have to," Harper said after Friday night's 7-2 loss to Atlanta. "It's part of the game. It's part of the process of going through a season. Just got to stay the course and understand that I rely heavy on my body."
