Nationals' Bryce Harper: Gets off day due to leg injury
Harper (leg) is out of the lineup Tuesday, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.
Analysis:
Harper, who suffered several nicks Monday including being hit by a foul ball and falling at first base, will get a day off Tuesday to return to full strength. He was initially not expected to miss Tuesday's start so it appears that the move is purely precautionary. The 23-year-old is slashing .256/.356/.359 over his last 10 games.
