Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber have returned to the lineup for the Philadelphia Phillies after recovering from injuries sustained in a late June game against Miami. Harper strained his left hamstring while running the bases, while Schwarber strained his left groin making a throw from left field. The Phillies, who went 5-4 without their star sluggers, are now set to face the Los Angeles Dodgers in a series between National League division leaders.
Harper, a two-time NL MVP, is hitting .303 with 20 doubles, 20 homers, and 58 RBIs. He was named the National League player of the month for May and June and has been a standout performer in various offensive categories. Harper has confirmed his participation in the upcoming All-Star Game at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, where he will make his eighth appearance and seventh start.
