Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper was scratched from Saturday's Grapefruit League contest against the Mets because of swelling in his left hand but the issue is not a major concern, the Washington Post reports. Harper jammed his hand during Friday's game and insisted on playing Saturday.
Manager Davey Johnson said the 20-year-old would likely return to the starting lineup on Sunday. Harper, entering his first full season with the Nationals, is hitting .400 with three homers and 12 RBI through 20 games this spring.
