Bryce Harper (illness) returns to Nationals' lineup Friday

Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper (illness) is starting on Friday versus the Milwaukee Brewers.

What It Means:

Harper was held out of the Nationals' most recent lineup due to a bad cough, but he felt well enough to make a pinch-hit appearance and draw a walk. The 25-year-old impending free agent will replace Michael Taylor in center field and bat third versus Brewers right-hander Jhoulys Chacin. Anthony Rendon will handle cleanup duties, Juan Soto will hit fifth, and Ryan Zimmerman will work out of the six-hole.

numberFire's models project Harper to score 15.2 FanDuel points at a cost of $4,300 on Friday.
