Bryce Harper

Washington Nationals star Bryce Harper was one of 24 athletes who took part in ESPN The Magazine's Body Issue this year, and he has revealed that he put in quite a bit of work to make sure that his body was ready for the photoshoot.

Starting pitching and superstars from both sides will determine who earns home-field advantage in the World Series when the American League and National League clash Tuesday in the 2015 MLB All-Star Game. 

The 86th annual All-Star game will take place at 8 p.m. ET Tuesday at the Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. The festivities, though, got started off with a few bangs on Monday night with baseball's Home Run Derby.  

Todd Frazier seemed all too comfortable in his home park as he did something he'd done 15 times before in 2015: hit a ball into the red-shirted screaming fans beyond the outfield wall.

You really can't get any more 'Merica than this. 

Bryce Harper went all out celebrating the Fourth of July by knocking a two-run homer off San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner while using the most patriotic bat in history. 

On top of the stars on the Nationals' jerseys, Harper used an America-themed bat to send the ball over the fence. 

Major League Baseball released its sixth All-Star Game balloting update Monday, with final results for the July 14 game in Cincinnati to be announced Sunday. Voters have until Thursday night to cast online, although there is always the threat of some votes being “scrubbed” away when the final count is announced.

Before the season, I could've written down the names of the Washington Nationals' five starting pitchers and it would have only been a slight exaggeration to submit that as a list of the team's top five All-Star Game candidates. 

But with the game just two weeks away, the Nationals' rotation is only likely to send one representative to Cincinnati. 

Washington Nationals star Bryce Harper has been nursing a hamstring issue since June 25 that has forced him to miss multiple games.

The Washington Nationals' erratic first half of the season has been a learning experience for the fans as they come to grips with a team that may not, after all, be the first-ever 162-game winner, and for the clubhouse staff as they conduct detergent-related science experiments to get chocolate sauce out of jersey fabric. 

It turns out the only thing that could slow down Bryce Harper is a 95 mph fastball to the knee. The Washington Nationals outfielder exited Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers after getting hit in the top of the ninth inning.

Washington Nationals star slugger Bryce Harper gave the world another reminder of what a total bro he is when a fan tossed her phone to him in the outfield Tuesday night.

Harper definitely made that fan’s night, but he’ll now have to deal with a hailstorm of fans' phones raining down on him from the seats.
