Philadelphia Phillies' Bryce Harper sits against New York Mets after hit in calf by pitch

NEW YORK -- Right fielder Bryce Harper wasn't in the Philadelphia Phillies' lineup for their series finale against the New York Mets on Sunday, a day after he was hit in the left calf by a pitch from Jacob deGrom.

Harper was squaring to bunt in the sixth inning Saturday and pulled back as the pitch from deGrom bounced in the dirt and caromed off his calf. Harper grimaced as he walked to first and remained in the game to run the bases. Travis Jankowski replaced him in right field in the bottom of the sixth.
