Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper will “ease” back into playing right field to help fix the infield conundrum caused by the acquisition of second baseman Luis Arraez from the San Francisco Giants on Monday, interim manager Don Mattingly said.
As a result, Bryson Stott will move from second base to third, and third baseman Alec Bohm will shift to first, where Harper has played since returning from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in 2023.
