Josh Harrison (back stiffness) sitting Sunday for Washington
Josh Harrison will not play in the Washington Nationals' Sunday afternoon game against the Philadelphia Phillies due to back stiffness.
What It Means:
This doesn't seem to be a particularly concerning injury, but the Nationals will play it careful with Harrison and keep him out of today's game. Jordy Mercer will fill in for Harrison at second base and will bat seventh.
Our models project Harrison for 241 more plate appearances this season, with 5 home runs, 28 runs, 28 RBI, 4 stolen bases, and a .252 batting average.
