Bryce Harper is in the Nationals' lineup for the beginning of an important seven-game homestand. The 22-year-old's left glute tightened up after lunging for the bag at first on an infield hit in the seventh inning of Tuesday's loss.
Harper started last night but left in the fourth inning after popping up in his second at-bat, saying later "it just did not feel good at all."
Harper will play center field as Michael A. Taylor misses his second straight game with right knee soreness. Taylor...

The Orioles received two pieces of good medical news within the past few days.
Top pitching prospect Dylan Bundy's right shoulder passed the test administered by Dr. James Andrews. He's been cleared to start a throwing program.
Miguel Gonzalez may go on the disabled list as the Orioles begin a three-game series in Toronto, but MRIs on his right shoulder and elbow revealed nothing more serious than tendinitis that's causing inflammation. There's nothing structurally wrong.
Gonzalez was most...

ST. LOUIS - Max Scherzer battled through six tough innings on Wednesday night to put the Nationals in position to avoid a sweep against the Cardinals. To tell how rough the past month has been, the 4-3 win was just the first for the Nationals with Scherzer on the mound since Aug. 4.
The Cardinals offense was aggressive, whacking 11 hits against Scherzer, a season-high and the most since June 7, 2014 against the right-hander. But the ace responded, limiting St. Louis to two runs while striking...
It's been a frustrating couple weeks in Birdland, you can feel the tension on the field. The Orioles have won just two of their last 10 games, went 11-18 in August and are 6 1/2 games back of the wild card, but at least they entered today's off-day on a positive note before heading north to Toronto. The O's avoided their longest losing streak in over four years last night when Chris Davis launched a monstrous walk-off homer in the 11th inning to help the Birds grab one of three from Tampa...
The Nationals' 2015 season has been a lesson in the cruelty of baseball. Sure they built a roster full of injury-prone players and they had to expect they'd miss time. The ultimate outcome of how many players and how much time affected the Nationals in far more ways than just when those players were out.
Clint Robinson, Danny Espinosa and Michael A. Taylor were all admirable fill-ins and helped the Nationals get to nine games over .500 and a lead in the division, but then Anthony Rendon, Ryan...
ST. LOUIS - The script seemed to be headed in the same direction as the previous two nights - Nationals blow a late lead only to lose in heartbreaking fashion. But after the Cardinals evened the score in the seventh, Ryan Zimmerman once again stepped up, delivering a double in the eighth to score Anthony Rendon for the eventual game-winning run as the Nationals took the finale 4-3.
"Tonight was vintage Zim," manager Matt Williams said.
The RBI was Zimmerman's third of the night after...
ST. LOUIS - Bryce Harper left tonight's game in the fourth inning with left glute tightness. Harper popped out to second to start the frame, jogging slowly down the first base line.
"At this point in the season, there's always aches and pains, but this one felt a little different, a little worse," Harper said after the Nationals' 4-3 win. "On that last swing, it just didn't feel good. I didn't want to run it out. It just did not feel good at all. Hopefully, it feels better...
