Washington Nationals’ 5th starter options + more with Davey Martinez and Paul Menhart

Barring any injury issues [knocks on wood], the top four spots in the Washington Nationals’ rotation are set, with Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg, Patrick Corbin, and Aníbal Sánchez returning after helping the club win the World Series last season.

As for the fifth spot, it’s a competition between Erick Fedde and Austin Voth, both of whom are expected to be part of the Opening Day roster, whatever role they fill.

And they’ll likely both get some starts before it’s done, even in a short 60-game campaign.
