Bryce Harper (Nationals)

8/11/12 7:47 am

Bryce Harper is not in Saturday’s lineup against the Diamondbacks.

Manager Davey Johnson insists Harper is fine, and that he only wanted to give Tyler Moore at-bats against left-hander Wade Miley. “There’s nothing wrong,” Johnson said. “He played a good game and he?ll play [Sunday]. I?m just telling you up front now so I don?t have to hear all this tomorrow.” With Harper out, Jayson Werth will lead off and play and center field. Danny Espinosa is starting at shortstop and batting second.
