Washington Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg will now start Game 4 of the NLDS against the Chicago Cubs.
Nats manager Dusty Baker had said Tuesday that Strasburg was too ill to start Wednesday, and Tanner Roark would take the mound.
But the pitcher showed up at Wrigley Field singing a different tune. Sources told ESPN's Pedro Gomez that Strasburg was on the first bus to the park and told Baker he was feeling much better and could start.
"He didn't feel well yesterday but today maybe a new day," Scott Boras, Strasburg's agent, told ESPN's Jesse Rogers in a text message.
