Harper was not in the lineup a day after flipping into the first-base camera well in pursuit of a foul pop, but Rob Thomson says not to worry.
Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper falls into the television camera well attempting to catch a pop foul off the bat of the Braves' Austin Riley on Saturday.“Really it was kind of a scheduled day off anyway,” said Thomson, who added that he’s expecting Harper to start Monday night’s series opener with the Reds at Citizens Bank Park.
Thomson, who wouldn’t rule out using Harper as a pinch hitter Sunday, noted that the face of the franchise missed time late in spring training with a stiff lower back. Harper wasn’t at his locker during the media’s pregame availability time. Thomson said he hadn’t seen Harper yet, either.Phillies vs. Braves: Who’s chasing whom?

“We’re trying to take care of him,” said Thomson, noting that the Phillies have two days off in April. “And with the lefty matchup, we can get other guys in just to protect him.”The Phillies put righty reliever Luis Ortiz on the 15-day injured list with a sprained left ankle and recalled right-hander Nick Nelson from triple A.
