PHILADELPHIA -- The International Olympic Committee announced Monday that baseball and softball will be returning to the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles -- and Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper said he would love to play and hopes Major League Baseball allows its players to participate.

"My wife actually had a hair appointment this morning and she texted me 'Happy Birthday' with that," Harper said prior to Game 1 of the NLCS on Monday, which happens to fall on his 31st birthday.
