Bryce Harper’s return to right field for the Phillies is backfiring—his defensive struggles and knee soreness are mounting, and he admits he feels like he’s still in spring training. While the team hoped to keep Alec Bohm in the lineup, Harper’s discomfort is forcing him to take DH days, with Kyle Schwarber stepping in at first. Harper’s quick outfield movements are aggravating his knee, and he’s not convinced this experiment is worth it. With Bohm struggling to earn a spot and younger players like Derek Hill and Bryan De La Cruz ready to step up, moving Harper back to first and benching Bohm might be the smarter move.
