Bryce Harper back in Nationals' lineup, batting third

Washington Nationals right fielder Bryce Harper has returned from his suspension and is batting third on Sunday against the Oakland Athletics.

What It Means:

Harper got a three-game suspension for charging the mound when he got plunked last week, but he's ready to go today. If anything, a few days of rest should leave the 24-year-old star fresher for Sunday's tilt against Oakland starter Sonny Gray.

Harper is batting a superhuman .328/.438/.655 with 15 home runs, 44 runs, and 43 RBI's in 208 plate appearances so far in 2017.
