Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper was back in the starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Colorado Rockies after missing most of Saturday’s game due to a migraine.
The veteran first baseman appeared fully recovered from the health issue that forced his early departure during the first inning of Philadelphia’s 9-3 win over Colorado the previous day.
Harper took his usual spot batting third and playing first base as the teams wrapped up their series in Philadelphia, with each club having won one of the first two contests.
The 33-year-old slugger is currently hitting .282 this season with nine home runs and 23 RBIs across 40 games played.
Harper brings an impressive resume to the field, having captured National League MVP honors twice in 2015 and 2021, along with eight All-Star selections. Throughout his major league career spanning time with both Washington (2012-18) and Philadelphia, he has compiled a .280 batting average with 372 home runs and 1,074 RBIs over 1,825 games. The former Nationals star also earned NL Rookie of the Year recognition in 2012.
