Washington Nationals’ Davey Martinez on the fifth starter options for the 2020 MLB season...

Davey Martinez expressed confidence in the Washington Nationals’ ability to fill out their starting rotation after Joe Ross made his decision to opt out of playing in the 2020 MLB campaign.

The manager of the defending World Series champions said the club would still go with the five-man rotation they’d planned on using before the season was reduced to 60 games.

“Right now we’re focusing on using a five-man rotation. As we get going we’ll see where we’re at, but we’re going to start off with a five-man rotation,” Martinez explained once things got started at Spring Training 2.
