While the Phillies happened to be in Miami at the time, Harper was not with his team as he was placed on paternity leave the weekend series. On Monday night, the six-time All-Star was back in the lineup and he made a minor change to his bats.

Harper added his son’s name to his bats, but what’s even better is that he smashed his 28th home run of the season in his return to the lineup with his fresh new bats.

After hitting just three home runs and 13 RBI in the month of July, Harper already has 10 home runs and 21 RBI with a few days left in August.
