3 months agoPhiladelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper (hamstring) ran the bases at close to 100 percent intensity on Monday morning at Truist Park and said he feels good. Manager Rob Thomson said that Harper could return from the 10-day injured list and play on Tuesday in the series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but it's not a certainty as it is for outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (groin). Tuesday is the first day that Harper is eligible to come off the IL after dealing with a low-grade left-hamstring strain. When the 31-year-old former MVP does return, expect the Phillies to ease him back into starting duties at first base right before next week's All-Star break. Harper remains one of the best all-around hitters in the big leagues and will eventually return to a strong .303/.399/.582 slash line with a .981 OPS, 20 home runs, 58 RBI, four stolen bases and 52 runs scored in 287 at-bats this year.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
