Nationals' Bryce Harper: Exits with apparent leg injury
Harper exited Monday's game against the Phillies after taking a pitch to the right knee area, CSN Mid-Atlantic reports.
Analysis:
Harper was hit by a Jeremy Hellickson fastball and initially remained in the game. However, after being thrown out in a double play, he departed the field and headed to the clubhouse, with Chris Heisey taking his place in right field. The Nationals haven't released an update on Harper's status, so consider the reigning MVP day-to-day until further notice.
