If you can believe it, the Nats nearly lost yesterday in part due to Tim Tebow. Yeah, *that* Tim Tebow.
Here’s what’s fresh in Florida:
Howie Kendrick expects to be ready for opener (MLB.com)
It's a strain, not a tear, meaning he can rehab and return rather quickly — potentially by Opening Day at Nats Park.
Nationals could have dominant pitching trio (MLB.com)
The Nats will go Max Scherzer-Stephen Strasburg-Patrick Corbin in what could be their most dominant group since the days of Strasburg, Zimmermann, and Gio in 2012 — though the one warning sign is that Strasburg's velocity still hasn't quite returned after he suffered an injury last year.
