PHILADELPHIA — Two-time MVP Bryce Harper was back in the Philadelphia Phillies' lineup for their game against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night after sitting out one game with mid-back spasms. Harper was batting third as the designated hitter in manager Rob Thomson's lineup. Harper left Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals in the top of the fifth inning with spasms that were unrelated to back pain that kept him out of games in 2021. Kyle Schwarber was in Philadelphia's lineup in his customary leadoff spot Saturday after leaving in the seventh inning of Philadelphia's 13-2 win over Minnesota on Friday after fouling the ball off his left foot.
