Bryce Harper injury: Nationals OF has no structural damage in hip

Bryce Harper will be back in Washington’s lineup soon, after an MRI provided good news on his hip injury.

USA TODAY Sports

An MRI showed no structural damage in the injured left hip of Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper, manager Davey Johnson told CSN Washington's Mark Zuckerman on Monday.

For more on Harper and the Nationals, head over to Federal Baseball.

Harper will miss at least one more game but could be cleared to return to action on Wednesday. The 20-year-old phenom has played just four games this month. Harper has only two hits in 18 plate appearances across those four games but has drawn five walks.

The Nats are 4-0 this month -- and have scored 24 runs over their past three games -- without the benefit of their two-time all-star’s presence in the middle of the lineup.

Harper is hitting .273/.377/.504 with 19 home runs in 427 plate appearances. He has already drawn more walks this season (57) than he did in all 2012 (56).
