BREAKING Bryce Harper has been cleared to return to the Phillies lineup, a source confirmed with JClarkNBCS of NBCSPhilly
Harper has been facing live pitching for a few weeks now and will not go on a rehab assignment. He's faced Ranger Suarez, Nick Nelson and minor-league pitchers in the Phillies' organization and has been swinging on the field every other day.
When Harper returns as the DH, it will mean everyday duty in left field for Kyle Schwarber, who has been the designated hitter in 18 of the 29 games he's played this season. Four of his last seven starts have been in left field as Thomson tries to get reacclimated to playing the field on a daily basis.
