Following Monday afternoon's brawl with Giants reliever Hunter Strickland, Nationals star Bryce Harper was suspended four games for charging the mound. Strickland was suspended six games.
Both Harper and Strickland appealed their suspensions and were eligible to play Tuesday night. It appears Harper's appeal has already been heard, because his suspension has reportedly been reduced to three days:

MLB has not yet announced a reduction in Harper's (or Strickland's suspension). It seems likely Harper's suspension was reduced to three games, not three days as the report suggests, because the Nationals have an off-day Thursday. MLB would't let a player get away with serving a suspension during an off-day.
Because Harper's appeal has apparently been heard, the suspension will begin immediately. He will not be eligible to play Wednesday.
