Will Harris Dealing With Abdominal Issue
5 years agoWashington Nationals relief pitcher Will Harris will be re-evaluated in three to four days after tweaking his abdomen recently. Harris was slated to make his spring debut before the injury popped up. For now, it appears to be a minor issue. Harris will be a relief ace for the Nationals this year, but Sean Doolittle figures to get the bulk of save opportunities. If Doolittle falters, however, Harris could be next in line for saves. This draft season, Harris doesn't have much value except as a very late-round option in deeper leagues, but certainly keep an eye on him on waivers should an opportunity arise, assuming this abdominal issue doesn't become something larger.

Will Harris Having Lingering Shoulder Issues
3 years agoWashington Nationals relief pitcher Will Harris (shoulder), who has made just one spring training appearance back on March 19, said on Monday that he's having lingering issues following surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome last summer. That doesn't sound good, and we can bet that the 37-year-old right-hander will open the season on the injured list. Harris, an All-Star back in 2016 with the Houston Astros, tossed only six innings and allowed six earned runs due to thoracic outlet issues last season. He has 21 career saves and a 2.94 ERA in 10 big-league seasons and was set to be a valuable middle-relief arm for the Nats this year. Kyle Finnegan is Washington's projected closer to open the 2022 campaign.
