ATLANTA -- Nationals second baseman Willie Harris left Sunday's game against the Braves because of a left oblique strain. He is listed as day-to-day and will be reevaluated on Monday.
After fouling off a pitch in the second inning, Harris bent down in pain near the batter's box.
A couple of seconds later, Harris singled off right-hander Jair Jurrjens, but ran to first awkwardly. Manager Manny Acta and assistant athletic trainer Michael McGowan immediately came to Harris' aid.
Harris was taken out of the game in favor of Alberto Gonzalez.
Acta didn't rule out Harris going on the disabled list and activating second baseman Anderson Hernandez, who is currently doing a rehab stint with Triple-A Syracuse. Hernandez missed the first week of the season because of a left hamstring strain.
"After tomorrow, we will know better and then we'll make a decision," Acta said. "It's a concern. We might bring up Hernandez in a day or two. "
Another second baseman sidelined....
