Bryce Harper Back From Illness on Thursday
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper (illness) is starting at first base and is batting third in his return to the lineup on Thursday in the series finale against the division-rival Miami Marlins and right-hander Janson Junk. Harper will be back in action after missing the last two games with an illness. Fantasy managers setting DFS lineups should feel comfortable including Harper in their lineups against a right-handed pitcher. The 32-year-old former MVP has hit .236 (17-for-72) with five home runs, three doubles, 12 RBI, and 10 runs in 19 games. Harper sports a .263/.358/.495 slash line on the season with an .853 OPS, 27 home runs, 75 RBI, 72 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases in 487 at-bats. The Phillies will be hoping he can finish the 2025 regular off on a high note as the Phils head into the postseason in October. Harper has never faced Junk.
