Harris (groin) will face hitters Tuesday, Jenny Cavnar of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harris hit the injured list with a strained groin in late July after making just two appearances and allowing three runs (one earned) in 1.1 innings. If he completes his session Tuesday without issues, he expects to be activated shortly thereafter.

Harris was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right groin Friday, Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move was made retroactive to Wednesday, so Harris could return as soon as next Saturday. Whether or not he's expected to do so remains to be seen. Harris has appeared twice this season, allowing three runs (one earned) over 1.1 innings.

Harris is dealing with a minor groin issue according to manager Dave Martinez, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez added that they're hoping Harris can get through the injury without missing any time with the Nationals entering a four-day period without a game. The former all-star has gotten off to somewhat of a rocky start in 2020, allowing three hits and three runs over two appearances, one of which ended in a blown save to the Yankees.

Harris gave up a solo home run to Luke Voit in 0.2 innings Sunday to get charged with a blown save in a 3-2 loss to the Yankees. He walked one and struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander's debut for the Nats did not go smoothly, as he relieved Patrick Corbin in the seventh inning and promptly coughed up a one-run lead. Harris will fill a high-leverage role this season for his new club, and his track record with Houston suggests better performances are ahead.

Harris threw a bullpen session Friday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

An abdominal injury prevented the right-hander from seeing any action during the Grapefruit League schedule back in March, but Harris is now 100 percent healthy and should be ready to go for Opening Day later this month. The former Astro will fill a high-leverage role for the Nats out of the bullpen.

Harris (abdomen) completed a bullpen session Wednesday and said afterward that he thinks he'll be ready to go for Opening Day, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Harris indicated he felt good coming out of Wednesday's workout, the Nationals will proceed more carefully with the reliever as he works back from a left abdominal strain, which is related to the sports hernia surgery he required during the offseason. He's scheduled to throw another bullpen session Friday before likely progressing to a live batting practice session early next week. Harris may only need two or three relief appearances in spring training to guarantee his availability for the March 26 opener.

Harris (abdomen) threw a two-inning simulated game Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harris was shut down last week after tweaking his abdomen but appears to be progressing well toward his return. The team will see how veteran right-hander feels Saturday before determining the potential readiness for his spring debut.

Harris (abdomen) could begin throwing again early in the week, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was originally set to make his first appearance of the spring Thursday, but minor soreness in his left abdomen caused him to be shut down for a few days. Assuming he picks back up this week, Harris will still have plenty of time to get ready before Opening Day.

Harris tweaked his left abdomen and will be evaluated in 3-to-4 days, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harris was originally scheduled to make his spring debut Thursday before suffering the injury. Once healthy, he's expected to fill a high-leverage relief role for the Nationals.

Harris agreed to a three-year, $24 million contract with Washington on Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harris turned in the best year of his big-league career a season ago with the Astros, posting a sparkling 1.50 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with a 62:14 K:BB over 60 innings. He also picked up four saves and 26 holds. The right-hander will join the reigning World Series Champions as one of the top arms out of the bullpen and will be a clear choice for a setup role heading into the 2020 campaign.
