Harper was the designated hitter for the Potomac Nationals on Wednesday, going 1-for-3 with a solo homer. In two games with the P-Nats, he was 2-for-4 with a double and a homer. He tweeted his thanks to the P-Nats and their fans after the game, perhaps another signal that he'd be taking his show to a different stadium soon.Nationals star Bryce Harper is scheduled to play in Bowie Thursday and Saturday with the Harrisburg Senators http://t.co/OHWUaPhnkt

Potomac closes out a four-game series with Carolina League foe Myrtle Beach tonight at Pfitzner Stadium before beginning a three-game weekend series at Wilmington on Friday. Low Single-A Hagerstown opens a four-game series against Lexington tonight, but the Nationals might prefer to see how Harper fares against a better Double-A pitcher. The parent Nationals aren't making Harper available to the media until he plays a full nine innings, and that could happen as soon as tonight at Bowie. Harper hasn't played in the majors since May 26 and was placed on the 15-day disabled list June 2. Update: The Nationals have confirmed that Harper will play for Harrisburg at Bowie tonight, and that the outfielder might go a full nine innings for the first time in his rehab.Another great night in Potomac! Thank you all for the hospitality, it's always appreciated! One step closer! #blessed
