Harper missed two months with a broken left thumb and played in just two minor-league rehab games last month. In 12 games since returning to the big club, he is 11 for 42 with three doubles, a .380 on-base percentage and no homers.
Over his last six games, Harper has just three hits -- two singles and a bloop double -- in 21 at-bats. He struck out 10 times in his last four games. Sitting out with lefty Patrick Corbin on the mound for Washington made sense."Early, they were real good," the manager said."It looks like the bat speed is there.
Harper hit primarily out of the No. 3 spot before his injury. He's hit fourth, behind Kyle Schwarber, Rhys Hoskins and Alec Bohm, since returning. Thomson likes that setup because it puts two right-handed hitters between Schwarber and Harper, who both hit from the left side.Thomson said he thinks about potential lineup configurations all the time, but it does not sound like moving Schwarber out of the leadoff spot and Harper back to the No. 3 spot is in his immediate plans.
"I'm expecting Schwarb to get hot at any point and then we don't have these conversations because that's how he is," Thomson said."He was cold at the start of the season then he got hotter than anything. So he's just going through a little spell right now. That's how I see it."Closer Seranthony Dominguez hit 100 mph during his rehab inning Thursday night at Lehigh Valley.
