Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper is hitting second Thursday.
Harper's spot in the batting order has been the topic of discussion in Washington thus far. In the first two games, Harper batted lower in the lineup, which caused a bit of a stir. For game three, he's penciled into the two-spot. He's also able to play in his second consecutive game after taking a knee to the head Monday. Harper will take on Mets pitcher Zack Wheeler.
