WASHINGTON -- Bryce Harper is still feeling the effects of his collision with the Dodger Stadium wall, enough for manager Davey Johnson to consider resting the Washington Nationals outfielder for a few games. Harper aggravated his sore left knee three times in Sundays 6-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies, twice with head-first slides in the first inning. He slid into second on an infield hit-and-error, then hit the dirt again with a steal of third. For good measure, he then fouled a pitch off the knee in the third inning. He was limping throughout the game and was removed for a pinch runner after drawing a walk in the seventh. "If hed quit head-first sliding, hed be a lot better off," Johnson said. "Hell probably be down a few days. I dont know if theres fluid on the knee or what, but he was certainly gimpy." Harper, however, quickly answered "no" when asked if he expected to miss any playing time. "It probably wont get better until the off-season," he said. "Ive just got to deal with the pain. ... I could rest it for four days and feel better and I could go out there and slide and bang it up again -- and back to square one." Harper also differed with the manager on whether it would do any good to stop sliding head-first, saying the knee feels pressure either way. "If I slid feet-first right now, my knee might pop and not be good," Harper said. Harper has already missed three games because of the knee thats been bothersome since he ran into the wall in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 13, a collision that also left him with a gash in the chin that required 11 stitches. Harper is hitting .287 with 12 home runs and 23 RBIs. Johnson also announced that left-hander Ross Detwiler will miss a second start and go on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained oblique muscle. Johnson said the muscle is still tight, so Detwiler will skip Tuesdays scheduled start. His placement on the DL will be retroactive in the hopes that he can return to the rotation next Sunday. Left-hander Xavier Cedeno will be recalled from Triple-A Syracuse. Johnson said he hasnt decided who will start Tuesday. Dallas Goedert Jersey .

Focus on... The title battleThe Brazilian Grand Prix is no stranger to hosting title-crowning moments. There have been six to be precise, ranging from Fernando Alonsos back-to-back success between 2005 and 2006, to Lewis Hamiltons dramatic last-lap triumph in 2008, and Sebastian Vettels recovery drive to a third world title four years ago. All five of the world champions on the current grid have clinched a title in Brazil. Will Nico Rosberg continue that pattern?Rosberg arrives in Brazil with the championship trophy in one hand. Win on Sunday and the German will follow in the footsteps of his father Keke Rosberg by taking his first ever Formula One title. Such a feat would see Nico and Keke join Graham and Damon Hill as the only two father-son combinations to win an F1 title in the history of the sport. As described in full in our title permutations explainer, Rosberg can even afford two second place finishes, or one second and a third to beat Hamilton to the crown.Hamilton has almost all the odds stacked against him, finish second to Rosberg and his rival wins; go too aggressive and end up crashing out; Rosberg wins. The task seems simple for the Briton, win and he ensures the title will go down to the final round in Abu Dhabi on November 27. Even when riding on the crest of momentum -- as he often references -- after consecutive wins in the United States and Mexico, one fact stands out. Hamilton has never won at Interlagos.He will need to buck that trend in order to stand any chance of adding a fourth world championship to his growing list of achievements this year. But at one stage Hamilton also needed to win the final four races to keep the title within reach and so far he has delivered when it matters most. The see-saw nature of this years championship fight means nothing can be taken for granted. Add to that possible rain, question marks over reliability, and factor in an increasingly competitive Red Bull package in the hands of hungry pairing Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen, and this weekend could provide another classic Brazilian Grand Prix.In need of a podiumThe pressure is showing no signs of relenting at Ferrari. In fact it neared boiling point in Mexico when Vettels potty-mouthed radio rant almost got him in serious trouble with the FIA -- little does it need off-track problems to add to its on-track ones. Ferrari is in real need of a podium, having not recorded one since Sebastian Vettel finished third in Italy. More alarming is the fact the team has only managed podiums on two occasions in the last 10 races. Its that kind of inconsistency, coupled with Red Bulls rejuvenated charge in the second half of 2016, which has seen Ferrari fall a whopping 62 points behind in the standings.In need of pointsTime is running out for Sauber to avoid its worst ever finish in F1. The Swiss team came tantalisingly close to recording its first points of the season in Mexico as Marcus Ericsson finished 11th. The agony for Sauber was a welcome relief for Manor, with the team maintaining ninth in the standings, thanks to Pascal Wehrleins point in Austria.WeatherThe weekends weather forecast looks very interesting. The Brazilian Grand Prix is often hit by rain and thunderstormss and it looks like that could be the case again -- just when Nico Rosberg would have been hoping for a normal weekend! Thunderstorms are predicted from Thursday afternoon all the way through until race day, when the thunder and lightning is expected to subside in exchange for rain showers.dddddddddddd With a 60-90 percent chance of precipitation throughout the weekend, Interlagos unpredictable weather could play a huge factor in the direction of this years championship.PredictionRecent history suggests that Nico Rosberg has the upper hand in Brazil over Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton. The German has taken pole and gone on to win the previous two races at Interlagos. Given that Hamilton has never stood on the top step in Brazil, all signs point towards a Rosberg win. However, Hamiltons performances in the United States and Mexico were menacing, and the Briton needs a win in order to keep his title hopes alive. Given how well he performs under pressure, and with rain potentially on the cards, ESPN is backing Hamilton to finally break his Brazil duck at the 10th attempt to take the title fight to Abu Dhabi.BettingDespite never winning in Brazil, Lewis Hamilton is the bookies?favourite at 5/6 to take victory. Ricciardo (11/1) is the closest driver to take the fight to Mercedes, while in the battle for fourth, Force India are backed to edge out Williams in qualifying, with Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg tied on same odds at 200/1 compared with Valtteri Bottas (300/1) and Felipe Massa (500/1). Fernando Alonso is 9/2 to record a top six finish for McLaren.A lap with... Romain GrosjeanYou go onto the pit straight and then big braking to go to the Senna S. Very tricky turn in on the left-hand side. You really want to be well placed for the right turn two, which sets you up for turn three and the second straight. Big braking to turn four, left-hand side, 90 degrees, a pretty good corner. Then you get to the middle part -- turn five is a high-speed corner going up the crest. Its tricky.Then its turn six and the hairpin on the right-hand side. We cant use the curb as much as we used to. Turn seven is a left-hand side corner, no braking, just a lift off. Its a bit of a strange one. The second hairpin is then on the right-hand side, a second high-speed corner going down the hill, prior to the last turn. Its a left-hand corner where you really want to go early on the throttle because youre facing a wall to go up to the finish line.TyresAvailable compounds: hard, medium, softCircuit facts courtesy of Pirelli:? Interlagos is the second-shortest lap of the year, but probably the most intense as the cars are constantly cornering and dealing with traffic. This adds to the demands on the tyres.? The resurfacing a couple of years ago increased grip levels and smoothed out the bumps.? A very wide variety of weather conditions are possible, from intense heat to heavy rain.? Interlagos is one of the few anti-clockwise circuits, with the right-rear tyre doing the most work? Tyres are often subjected to combined lateral and longitudinal forces, which increase demand. ' ' '
