Bryce Harper was in full Phillies uniform not long after a pregame workout where the two-time NL MVP hit pitching, dove head-first into first base and fielded grounders at first.

Harper dashed off to film a series of vignettes to air on Philadelphia's new scoreboard -- and the Phillies slugger is getting closer to seeing his name back up there in the starting lineup.

As Harper ramps up what he can do in his rehabilitation from Tommy John surgery, optimism has swelled that he can return in May if he's cleared in his next scheduled checkup early next month.
