We know the Washington Nationals are keen on innings limits for their pitchers, but now we’ve discovered GM Mike Rizzo favors gag orders too.
Bryce Harper, out since Saturday with a hip injury that prompted him to drop to the ground during batting apply, re-joined his Nats teammates in New York on Tuesday, virtually able to play again. There, Harper advised The Washington Submit’s Adam Kilgore that he was ordered by Rizzo to maintain quiet about his injury.
Last week, Harper admitted to CSN Washington that he is been injured since April when he slammed into the outfield wall at Dodger Stadium. You may connect these dots, right? Hey, no less than we all know Brian Cashman is not the one GM who tells his injured to stars to close up.
Raise suspicion indeed. But when Harper was allowed to speak Tuesday, that should mean issues are good.. enough. An MRI after Saturday’s incident cleared Harper’s hip of structural harm, so now he is expected to relaxation up one other day and return to the lineup Wednesday.
As Kilgore later noted, Bryce seemed OKAY during Tuesday’s BP session.
The Nats are clinging to thin postseason hopes (however they’re promoting playoff tickets), so any upper-deck mashing from their young star would definitely assist.
