Phillies slugger Bryce Harper is reinstated after injured list stint with sore wrist
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Phillies slugger Bryce Harper was reinstated Monday ahead of Philadelphia's opener against San Diego after a stint on the injured list with right wrist inflammation.
Harper went on the 10-day injured list on June 6.
The two-time National League MVP and eight-time All-Star is hitting .258 with nine home runs, 34 RBIs and eight stolen bases in 57 games. He also missed five games, from May 26 to June 2, with a bruised right elbow after being hit by a pitch from Atlanta's Spencer Strider.
Harper said when he went on the IL that he felt pain in the wrist during a large portion of last season, when he hit 30 homers while helping the Phillies win the NL East.
The Phillies entered Monday's game in first place in the division. They are 13-14 overall this season without Harper in the lineup.

Reds phenom Chase Burns can't get out of 1st inning in 2nd start after memorable MLB debut
BOSTON (AP) — Cincinnati Reds phenom right-hander Chase Burns went from a memorable major league debut to a miserable second one against the Boston Red Sox on Monday night. After becoming the first starting pitcher in the expansion era to strike out the first five big league hitters he faced Tuesday against the New York Yankees, the 22-year-old Burns was tagged for seven runs, five earned, and got only one out. Burns, selected second overall by the Reds in July's amateur draft , walked the leadoff batter, Jarren Duran, on a 99.9 mph fastball. His defense let him down when the next batter Roman Anthony hit a grounder that second baseman Matt McLain threw into short left field, attempting to get a force. Abraham Toro lined a single to left for the first run and Carlos Narváez followed by hitting the next pitch for an RBI double off the Green Monster. After a ground out, Trevor Story belted a 1-1 slider into the center-field bleachers, making it 5-0. David Hamilton added an RBI single and manager Terry Francona lifted Burns after his second walk. Anthony added an RBI single against Brent Suter, completing Burns' pitching line. ___ AP MLB:
