In his return to the starting lineup, Bryce Harper (nausea, shoulder, knee) hit his 11th home run in a victory over the Padres.

Harper's seventh-inning solo bomb off Tyson Ross was his only hit in four at-bats. The wunderkind said he felt "terrible" after grounding out as a pinch-hitter Wednesday. It appears as though he'll have no further setbacks stemming from a violent kiss with the Dodger Stadium outfield wall on Monday.

Bryce Harper wants to play Thursday but admitted to feeling "terrible" after Wednesday's game.

Harper grounded out as a pinch-hitter in the Nationals' loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday night -- about 48 hours after running straight into the Dodger Stadium outfield wall while trying to track down a fly ball. The young phenom avoided a serious injury in the collision but is dealing with overall soreness and nausea.

Bryce Harper appeared as a pinch-hitter in Wednesday's game and grounded out.

Bryce Harper (nausea, shoulder, knee) is also dealing with a sore rib cage.

Harper didn't report the soreness in his rib cage on Tuesday. In addition to the rib cage soreness, he's also battling a sore shoulder, sore knee and nausea as a result of Monday's collision with the wall. He was able to work out some prior to Wednesday's game, though, and remains day-to-day.

Bryce Harper (nausea) is out of the lineup again Wednesday.

Harper worked out before the game, but the Nats have decided to hold him out again. Though his shoulder and knee are sore, his nausea seems like the bigger concern at this point. However, Harper has been cleared of concussion symptoms and remains day-to-day.

Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said on 106.7 The Fan in Washington, D.C. that Bryce Harper (nausea) will not undergo further testing.

Harper passed an initial concussion test, but Nationals manager Davey Johnson said after Tuesday's game that the young outfielder would "probably" undergo more tests after he experienced some nausea. However, Rizzo doesn't appear concerned. "There's no concussion, he's feeling better," said Rizzo. "He'll be ready to go in the next day or so."

Bryce Harper - OF - Nationals

Nationals manager Davey Johnson said Tuesday that Bryce Harper (shoulder, knee) would "probably" undergo more tests at some point because of nausea.

Harper ran into the right field wall at Dodger Stadium on Monday night and while he passed an initial concussion test, he wasn't feeling great on Tuesday. "I feel kind of crappy today," said Harper. "I feel a little carsick, I guess you could say, like the feeling of that. I don’t have a concussion or anything like that, which is very pleasant to hear." Harper was called day-to-day after X-rays on his shoulder and knee came back negative, but the Nationals won't risk putting him back out there if the nausea lingers.

Bryce Harper - OF - Nationals

Bryce Harper (shoulder, knee) is not in the Nationals' lineup on Tuesday night.

Harper escaped major injury following his collision with the Dodger Stadium outfield wall Monday, but it's no surprise that that Nats are giving him at least one day off, as he's no doubt very sore. He could be back out there as soon as Wednesday.

Bryce Harper - OF - Nationals

Bryce Harper was diagnosed with a bruised left shoulder and left knee after X-rays came back negative.

Good news. Harper left Monday's game after he crashed face-first into the right field wall, but tests have ruled out a concussion or any other serious injury. Still, he required 11 stitches on his chin and is dealing with some soreness, so he's considered day to-day. The Nationals and fantasy owners can let out a sigh of relief.

Bryce Harper - OF - Nationals

Bryce Harper's agent, Scott Boras, said that his client received 11 stitches as the result of running into the fence on Monday night, but did not suffer a concussion.

Pretty good news under the circumstances. The stitches were presumably for the cut that could be seen under his chin and on his neck. Harper also jammed his shoulder, though it doesn't sound like a major concern at this time. Still, the Nationals plan to send him for X-rays. It's not clear when Harper will be ready to return to action, but more should be known Tuesday.
