Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper returned to the starting lineup for Saturday’s home game against the Minnesota Twins after sitting out one game due to back spasms.

Harper left Thursday’s game against the Washington Nationals in the fifth inning due to the back issues before missing Friday’s game.

Harper, 30, is batting third and serving as the designated hitter on Saturday.

Harper, a two-time National League MVP, is batting .293 with seven homers and 38 RBIs in 83 games this season. He underwent Tommy John surgery in the offseason to repair his throwing elbow.
