As Opening Day approaches, the Washington Nationals have a few tough decisions ahead of them before the regular season begins on April 3.
One thing that is for certain, however, are the five pitchers that will be making up the team’s starting rotation.
Max Scherzer will start a few days later after a small setback with a finger injury.
Tanner Roark had a strong outing against Japan in the World Baseball Classic and will look to carry that success over into the regular season.
Gio Gonzalez had an up-and-down year last year but will be an integral part of the rotation as the team’s only lefty.
