Bryce Harper makes early exit from Nationals' matinée

Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper was lifted from Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks with an apparent injury.

What It Means:

Chris Heisey replaced Harper in right field in the top of the seventh inning. The injury may have occurred on a strikeout in the bottom of the sixth. He went 0-for-4 with a run before exiting while striking out and walking once.

On the season, Harper is now slashing .376/.504/.723 with a .503 wOBA. He's up to nine home runs and 27 RBI's in 127 plate appearances.
