PHILADELPHIA — Phillies star first baseman Bryce Harper exited Saturday’s game against the Colorado Rockies at Citizens Bank Park with a migraine, the home club announced.
Harper appeared in the field behind starting pitcher Aaron Nola for the top of the first, but he was replaced by reserve Felix Reyes when his No. 3 spot in the batting order came up in the next half-inning. This is now the third migraine-related change the Phillies have had to make this season. Rookie pitcher Andrew Painter was scratched from a start last month with a migraine but improved enough to enter the game in the third inning; first-year outfielder Justin Crawford was taken out of the lineup for a game due to a migraine last weekend.
The two-time National League MVP Harper is batting .282 with nine home runs and a .929 OPS in 2026. He has not missed a game yet this season.
