Major League Baseball has reduced the suspension for Washington Nationals slugger Bryce Harper by one game, a source confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.
Harper, who originally received a four-game ban for his role in a fight with with Giants reliever Hunter Strickland, will start serving his three-game suspension as the Nationals face the Giants on Wednesday night, the source said.
Harper will be eligible to return Sunday as the Nationals finish off a series at Oakland. Fox Sports was to first to report that Harper's suspension had been reduced.
