Harper, the reigning National League MVP, was struck in the fourth inning of Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres by a 97 mph fast ball.

Harper jokingly said he wished it was a repeat of last year when he was hit in the face by a fastball from St. Louis' Genesis Cabrera, saying, "I don't break bones in my face."
