Phillies’ Bryce Harper: Checks back in lineup

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

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.
