Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper left Monday's game in the fourth inning after feeling lightheaded.
Harper, who finished the game 0-for-1 with a strikeout, was replaced by Nate Schierholtz.
While the Nationals have yet to give an explanation to what caused Harper's lightheadedness, Mark Zuckerman of CSN Washington notes that a flu has been going around the team's clubhouse.
Harper looked fine in clubhouse this afternoon, but several other #Nats have battled flu in last couple weeks. Could've caught same bug.
