Harper leaves Phillies’ victory over Nats with mid-back spasms

The Phillies stated Harper was being additional evaluated.

It is unclear how Harper might need tweaked his again, though he seemed uncomfortable after fielding a pickoff throw from Aaron Nola and swiping to tag CJ Abrams within the third inning. Harper stood up and appeared to stretch his again after the play.

Harper went 0-for-1 with a stroll earlier than he left the sport. The remainder of the Phils stars shined in Harper’s absence, as Trea Turner, Nick Castellanos and J.T. Realmuto all hit two-run homers within the victory.
