The plan, according to Rob Thomson, is for Harper to play for the IronPigs Tuesday through Saturday – five games – then take Sunday off.
Harper said Sunday that his strength level was 85 to 90 percent and he felt he could work his way back to 100 percent during the rehab assignment. His goal is to stay in the lineup once he returns.
"I don't want to come back and take any days off," he said."Once I get back on a big league field, I want to get in and keep playing." If Harper returns Monday in Arizona, he'll have missed just over nine weeks and the Phillies could have him for as many as 34 more regular-season games.
