Bryce Harper will play at Class A Advanced Potomac on Tuesday in his first game since landing on the disabled list with bursitis in his left knee.

Harper took batting practice before Sunday's game against the Rockies.

The Nationals are eagerly awaiting the return of Harper, who injured his knee on May 13 in Los Angeles and aggravated the injury on May 26 after a pair of headfirst slides.

He's still tied for the team lead in home runs (12) and leads in batting average (.287) and on-base percentage (.386) despite being on the disabled list since June 2.
