Bryce Harper Leading Off, Adam Eaton Sitting Thursday
6 years agoWashington Nationals star outfielder Bryce Harper is back in the leadoff spot on Thursday against the Phillies for the first time in five games. Shortstop and resident speed demon Trea Turner will bat fifth. First baseman Daniel Murphy will bat cleanup. Adam Eaton will sit for the outing, with Harper, Juan Soto, and Michael A. Taylor rounding out the outfield. Tanner Roark will be on the mound for the Nats and he will bat eighth. He was roughed up his last time out against the Phillies and will try to find better results this time around. Phillies ace Aaron Nola has been outstanding this season, but both Murphy and Harper have had success against him in the past. That said, both of them have been slumping in June, so daily fantasy players will have to think before starting them against Nola.
