LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Nationals right fielder Bryce Harper expressed his eagerness to return to game action after an ingrown toenail forced him off the field this week. But manager Dave Martinez is not so sure.
"He wants to play [Friday], but we'll see," Martinez said. "I'd like to push him back another day."
Harper missed time in 2013 because of an ingrown toenail. Like then, the Nationals are taking every precaution with their superstar.
"He did have a little minor surgery and took the day off, but he's doing good," Martinez said.
