Bryce Harper, Jayson Werth out Monday

Nationals outfielders Bryce Harper and Jayson Werth didn't make the trip for Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees, MLB.com reports.

Harper is battling flu-like symptoms, and should be good to go in a day or two. Werth is dealing with a strained right biceps.

"Bryce wanted to come on the trip," manager Matt Williams said. "I told him to stay back and take it easy. I plan to bring him [to Lake Buena Vista] tomorrow. Jayson is going through his progressions. When we get back, we'll see where he's at."

Harper and Werth comprise two-thirds of the team's projected starting outfield.
