Nationals' Bryce Harper: Expects to play Tuesday

Harper is not expected to sit out Tuesday after exiting Monday's game against the Mets with a minor leg injury, Chase Hughes of CSN reports.

Analysis:

Harper took a foul ball off one of his legs and also fell at first base, and with the game all but in hand by the sixth inning, manager Dusty Baker erred on the side of caution and took his star outfielder out of harm's way before the game was officially over. The 23-year-old still managed to go 2-for-3 with an RBI before his premature exit Monday.
