Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper was pulled from Saturday's game against the Cardinals, but it wasn't because of any lingering issues with a quad injury. Instead, he was benched by manager Matt Williams, who was displeased with Harper's effort following a sixth-inning groundout.
"The inability to run 90 feet," was Williams' response, when asked why Harper was pulled from the game.
Harper finished the game 0 for 3, and Williams told reporters Harper should be back in the lineup Sunday.
