Davey Johnson says Bryce Harper may not play against the Red Sox because of a sore back; Harper shoots it down http://ppt.cc/88FL Bryce Harper has played in all 35 games since the Nationals summoned him to the majors. He has no intention of sitting one out, even after his manager said he might because of a sore back. After Harper got the wind knocked out of him diving for a ball, Nationals Manager Davey Johnson revealed that Harper has been receiving treatment from the Nationals’ training staff on his lower back. Asked if Harper would play in Nationals’ series opener Friday at Fenway Park, Johnson left doubts. “He might not,” Johnson said. “We’ll see how he is on the trip. We’ll have to monitor it pretty close.” Harper appeared surprised the issue of his back had even been raised and dashed any shot of him not playing. “I’m totally fine,” Harper said. “I’m going to play. I won’t be out of the lineup.” Asked when he first hurt his back, Harper replied, “I didn’t hurt it. I’m good. Don’t worry about it. Feel great.” In the ninth inning this afternoon, Harper dove for a bloop hit along the right field line and missed the ball. After he chased it down and fired the ball back to infield, Harper fell to his knees for a moment. Head athletic trainer Lee Kuntz visited him, but Harper remained in the game. Harper occasionally wraps his back with ice following games, but it had not been considered problematic until Johnson broached it today. Since Harper arrived in the majors, he leads the Nationals in batting average (.276), runs (23), hits (37), triples (four) and home runs (five). Even after going 0 for 4 today in a 3-1 loss, Harper has an .859 OPS. 大意： Harper在面對大都會第三戰的9局上半撲接一個右外野飛球失敗，起身追球回傳後跪倒 在地；球團訓練員上場探視後，Harper仍留在場上守備。 事後檢查，Harper的下背部應該是有發炎的狀況。在做過一些冰敷處理後，Harper本人 大概已經忘了這回事，不過總教練David Johnson受訪時卻說他不確定Harper是否能出賽 紅襪系列戰，並會在球隊移動時詳加觀察。 對此Harper本人表示："我沒受傷啊!我很好~~ 而且我不會缺席的!" --
