Registers three hits in return Harper went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, one double and one walk in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Harper was held out of Saturday's loss due to lower-back tightness, but he reached base four times and came within a triple of the cycle in Sunday's victory. The 28-year-old is now slashing .289/.439/.556 with three home runs and seven RBI this season.

Checks back in lineup Harper (back) will start in right field and bat third Sunday against the Cardinals, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact Harper was held out of the lineup for Saturday's 9-4 loss while managing lower-back tightness, but he apparently needed only one day off to overcome the issue. The 28-year-old has gotten on base at an excellent .396 clip this season, but a .238 average and modest counting-stats totals (two home runs, eight runs, six RBI and no stolen bases in 13 games) has muted his overall fantasy impact thus far.

Could play Sunday Manager Joe Girardi said Harper (back) is considered day-to-day and might play Sunday against the Cardinals, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 28-year-old was withheld from Saturday's lineup with tightness in his lower back, but it doesn't appear to be a serious issue. Harper also dealt with back problems late last season and had a slow buildup in camp for similar issues. The Phillies figure to remain cautious with their star right fielder, but there doesn't currently appear to be much concern over his long-term status.

Battling back tightness Harper's absence from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals is due to lower-back tightness, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact It initially appeared as though Harper was simply getting a bit of rest, but it turns out that he's dealing with a minor injury. The Phillies haven't expressed significant concern, calling him day-to-day, but there's potentially reason to worry. Harper dealt with back issues late last season and was brought along slowly at the start of camp this year for the same reason. At minimum, this looks like something Harper and the Phillies will have to monitor throughout the season, which could result in a few more off days than he's used to.

Sits for first time Harper will hit the bench for the first time this season Saturday against St. Louis.

Impact Harper hasn't been bad to start the season, though his .825 OPS through his first 13 games is below his usual standards. There hasn't been any indication that his day off Saturday is anything other than a routine one. Matt Joyce will get the start in right field in his absence.

Homers in second straight Harper went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Braves.

Impact Harper started out poorly, as he went down swinging in each of his first two at-bats but came around in the sixth as he started off the inning by belting an opposite-field home run to put the Phillies uo 6-5. The 28-year-old has managed to reach safely in every game so far, as he's slashing .276/.447/.517 with two home runs, four RBI and seven runs scored.

Goes deep in loss Harper went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's loss to the Braves.

Impact Harper is posting an impressive .471 OBP this season, but fantasy managers who roster him had to be let down by his lack of power and production prior to Saturday. The outfielder quelled some of that concern with his first homer of the season, which gave the Phillies a short-lived one-run lead in the sixth inning. The long ball pushed Harper's RBI total to a modest three for the campaign.

Walks twice in loss Harper went 0-for-2 with two walks in Friday's 8-1 loss to the Braves.

Impact Harper continues to have a slow start to the 2021 season. Across 21 at-bats this season Harper has only registered one extra-base hit and zero home runs. The superstar outfielder has drawn a walk on 26.7 percent of his plate appearances to help make up for his lack of hits. Through seven games Harper is slashing .238/.467/.286, a far cry from the lofty expectations he had after a tremendous spring where he put together a .343 batting average with four home runs.
