Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper had to leave Wednesday's game with a bruise on his side, but doesn't expect to miss much time, according to NatsInsider.com.
Harper said he'll try to play Thursday if he can. He added that he won't have any issues playing through pain. Manager Davey Johnson added "We'll take it day-by-day and we'll check him tomorrow, but he'll probably be out of there." The Nationals square off against the Braves Thursday night, so Harper will have the morning and afternoon to get treatment for the injury.
