WASHINGTON -- Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo denied a published report from SI.com that outfielder Bryce Harper is dealing with a right shoulder injury.
Rizzo said Harper is dealing with a stiff neck, which has put him on the shelf since Sunday. According to Rizzo, Harper is getting treatments, such as cupping therapy and an active release technique. Rizzo said he has a low level of concern about Harper's injury. Harper is listed as day to day.
"I just asked Bryce Harper, the training staff and the medical staff. He has never had a right shoulder injury," Rizzo said.
