Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images(NEW YORK) – Bryce Harper will now have to sit one fewer game for his role in Monday’s brawl against the San Francisco Giants.
A source confirms to ESPN that Harper’s four-game ban has been reduced to three, which the Nationals outfielder will begin serving on Wednesday night.
Harper charged the mound on Monday after he was hit by a pitch from Giants reliever Hunter Strickland, sparking a benches-clearing brawl.
Strickland was suspended for six-games for his role in the fight. He has also appealed the punishment.
