What does Harper’s September Return mean for the Roster?

Who will get sent down come playoff time?

The Return of The King

The Philadelphia Phillies have been one of the best teams in baseball. Since June 1st, the Phightins are 40-20, 5th overall in fielding, 8th overall in pitching, and 10th overall in hitting.

Bryce Harper said a few weeks ago that he is looking at a "September-ish" return to the team. Recently, interim manager Rob Thomson said he has weaned off the throwing regiment and is focusing on hitting. This move indicates Harper will return this season, but, most likely, in the DH capacity only.
