Harper Eyes Derby If He Makes All-Star Team

Bryce Harper, the eight-time All-Star, is eyeing a return to the Home Run Derby — but only if he makes the National League All-Star team and feels 100% healthy. With the Derby set for Philly this year, the chance of him facing his current Phillies teammate Kyle Schwarber in the same event could make history, as they’d be the first teammates to compete since 2016. Harper’s focused on his current form, with six weeks until the All-Star Game, and is taking things one day at a time. Both Harper and Schwarber are strong All-Star candidates — Schwarber leads the league in homers, while Harper’s bat’s been hot — and a hometown Derby showdown feels increasingly likely if Harper earns his spot and stays injury-free.
