Nats' Harper, Braves' Bourn added to NL roster - Yahoo! Sports
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Nationals manager Davey Johnson was talking to general manager Mike Rizzo on Saturday when he called for Bryce Harper to come over.
Harper thought it was one of two things: ''I was thinking I was going down because Rizzo and everybody was over there or the All-Star game,'' he said.
Forget about that minor league return, Bryce. Next stop, baseball's showcase game in Kansas City.
The 19-year-old Harper became the youngest position player to make the Midsummer Classic and third youngest All-Star ever when NL manager Tony La Russa selected the precocious outfielder to replace injured Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton.
Atlanta Braves speedster Michael Bourn also made the NL team Saturday, replacing Washington Nationals shortstop Ian Desmond.
