Bryce Harper made a positive impression in his first career start at first base, but the two-time National League MVP will be back as a designated hitter when the visiting Philadelphia Phillies continue their three-game series against the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday.
Harper offered to learn a new position after returning from Tommy John surgery in early May. The Phillies expect him to return to right field eventually, but Harper could fill a valuable role at first base in the meantime.
"I feel very comfortable," Harper said. "We've been working for a couple months now, and I feel normal going out there playing and slowing it down as best as possible and just playing good baseball." Fry is batting .356 over his past 22 games and could be making a case for more playing time at catcher.
Bibee, 24, has allowed a total of three runs over his past three starts covering 16 2/3 innings after posting a 5.04 ERA in five outings last month.Philadelphia will counter with right-hander Zack Wheeler , who allowed three runs in seven innings with seven strikeouts and no walks in a no-decision against the San Diego Padres last Sunday.
