Nationals manager Davey Johnson told The Washington Post Friday that outfielder Bryce Harper is still resting his knee and will likely be re-evaluated at the start of the week in Philadelphia.

Barring any setbacks, Harper is expected to start his minor-league rehab assignment and return in just over a week. Harper has been sidelined since May 26 with a knee injury. He hit .287/.386/.587 with 12 homers and 23 RBI in 44 games.
