Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper returned to the starting lineup in the Sunday's series finale against the visiting Colorado Rockies.

Harper apparently is no worse for wear after he was removed in the first inning of the Phillies' 9-3 victory over the Rockies on Saturday with what the team labeled as a migraine.

He was batting third and playing first base for Sunday's game.

The teams have split the first two games in Philadelphia.

Harper, 33, is batting .282 with nine homers and 23 RBIs in 40 games this season.

A two-time National League MVP (2015 and 2021) and eight-time All-Star, Harper is a career .280 hitter with 372 homers and 1,074 RBIs in 1,825 games with the Washington Nationals (2012-18) and Phillies. He was named the National League's Rookie of the Year in 2012.
