PHILADELPHIA (CBS/AP) – Bryce Harper will return to the Phillies Spring Training lineup on Sunday against the New York Yankees. Harper will bat third as the designated hitter.
Harper sat out of Saturday's game due to ankle soreness from the 96 MPH fastball he took to his right ankle on Friday afternoon.
When he was asked about dodging a major injury, he replied "I wish I would have dodged the ball."
