Bryce Harper, who will make his much anticipated Major League debut on Saturday night against the Dodgers, will play left field and hit seventh in his first two games. Harper hit .250 with one home run and three RBIs in 20 games for Triple-A Syracuse after batting .286 with the Nationals in spring training. "I'm going to put him in left field and let him play," manager Davey Johnson said. "Harp had a great spring training, he's a phenomenal talent, and he's been swinging the bat down there. But we have a need here for a left-handed bat, and he's the guy that fits the role. As far as I'm concerned, he's earned the right to get the opportunity."
