Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper expects to play Friday after tweaking his hip during Wednesday's game, according to NatsInsider.com.

Harper was removed in the bottom of eighth, but expressed a desire to return as soon as possible. Harper said he "felt fine" after the game. His manager, Davey Johnson, agreed, saying, "I think he'll be alright." 

Harper is hitting .276/.372/.528 in 246 at-bats. He missed time earlier this year with a knee injury.
