Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper is expected to receive a day off Wednesday against the Phillies as he continues to work his way back from a hip issue, MLB.com reports.
"I think players sometimes don't want the manager to know they are getting treatment," manager Davey Johnson said. "But I need that. It's part of the information I could use to ensure that they can get through the year injury free. They might be able to play with that injury, but it might be better to take a day off and let somebody else [play]."
