Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper told the Washington Post he does not plan to have surgery on his left knee this offseason. Harper struggled with knee and hip issues for much of the season, but he says he just needs rest.
"I really don’t see (surgery),” Harper told the Post. “It’s more trying to take the time off and let everything settle down. Everything is just swollen and things like that. I really don’t see going under the knife or anything like that."
Harper played in 118 games this season, hitting .274 with 20 home runs, 58 RBI and 11 stolen bases.
