Washington Nationals injury update: Bryce Harper hits in simulated game; could return next week according to report...

Bryce Harper went through batting practice over the weekend, his first swings on the field since he injured his left knee in early August.

FOXSports.com’s Ken Rosenthal reported on Saturday that the next step for the 24-year-old outfielder would be a simulated game.

“Most likely the Nationals will bring some instructional league pitchers to Washington,” he said, “... and Harper will take at bat after at bat against them in simulated games.”

That simulated game apparently took place in Atlanta, Georgia’s SunTrust Park today.

Looks like a sim game is happening at Sun Trust Park right now.
