Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper will get a second opinion on the sprained thumb that just landed him on the 15-day disabled list. The evaluation will determine the injury's severity and how long it will keep him out, reports the Washington Post.
"Doesn't look good," a person familiar with the situation told the paper.
Harper wore a small cast on his hand during Saturday's win over the Padres. He got hurt Friday sliding headfirst into third on his three-run triple.
Nats manager Matt Williams said Harper suffered a similar sprain in high school, and that the second opinion will sort out what damage is new, according to the Post.
