PHILADELPHIA -- This does not change ?Bryce Harper?¡¯s timeline to rejoin the Phillies.

But the Phillies on Thursday claimed outfielder Bradley Zimmer off waivers from the Blue Jays as ?Brandon Marsh? was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a sprained left ankle. To make room for Zimmer on the 40-man roster, the Phillies transferred Harper to the 60-day IL. Harper has been targeting a return around Sept. 1. His move to the 60-day IL makes him eligible to be activated Aug. 25.

So, nothing with Harper has changed.

Marsh sprained the ankle and also suffered a bone bruise in his left knee on Tuesday in Cincinnati, where he landed awkwardly on the warning track when he tried to make a leaping catch.

Zimmer, 29, is known as a solid defender. He gives the Phillies more depth in the outfield while Marsh recovers and left fielder Kyle Schwarber works his way back from a strained right calf. Schwarber hopes to start Friday night against the Mets at Citizens Bank Park, but as the designated hitter.

Zimmer slashed .105/.209/.237 in 87 plate appearances this season with Toronto. He has slashed .214/.301/.337 in parts of six seasons with Cleveland and Toronto.
