Set to throw Sunday Harris (hand) will throw at the team's alternate site Sunday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Harris has been dealing with inflammation in his hand and stated Friday that he was "a few weeks away" from a return to the mound. He has been without pain, but understandably has struggled to find the feel for his pitches due to the inflammation. Nevertheless, the fact that he continues to throw in simulated game action is a positive sign.

Still a few weeks away Harris (hand) is still trying to figure out how to pitch around the inflammation in his hand and estimates he's a "few more weeks" away from rejoining the Nationals bullpen, Jesse...
Impact Doctors have been stumped trying to diagnose the issue, but Harris said Wednesday that it doesn't cause him any pain and that his arm and elbow feel fine. Of course, trying to command his pitches with puffy fingers is less than ideal, but he was able to face live hitters Wednesday and tossed about 20 pitches. If Harris' guess is correct, he could make his season debut in mid-May.

Throws bullpen session Harris (hand) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Thursday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Manager Dave Martinez described Harris' throwing session as "light" work, but it's encouraging to see the right-hander throwing again since he had been sidelined since mid-March due to right hand inflammation. It's not yet clear when Harris will be able to make his season debut. Once he's cleared to return to game action, Harris should join Daniel Hudson and Tanner Rainey as setup options for the Nationals.
