Bryce Harper is returning to the Philadelphia Phillies lineup on Friday, two days after getting hit on the arm by a pitch. Harper is scheduled to hit second and play in his usual spot at first base against Boston.

Harper did not talk postgame, but manager Rob Thomson said he is not concerned about the Phillies star, who is not expected to need X-rays.

Philadelphia star Bryce Harper exited the Phillies' spring training game on Wednesday after getting hit by a pitch on his right arm in Dunedin, Fla. He likely escaped a serious injury.
