Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper was lifted from Thursday’s home game against the Washington Nationals in the fifth inning because of a mid-back spasm.

The team said Harper would undergo further evaluation.

Harper was 0-for-1 with a walk before leaving the game. Alec Bohm moved from third base to first and Rodolfo Castro entered at third.

The Phillies were wrapping a four-game set with the National League East rival Nationals, one day after Philadelphia’s Michael Lorenzen threw a no-hitter against Washington.
