The Washington Nationals activated RHP Doug Fister off the disabled list to start in Thursday's contest against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Here's the Associated Press with the report:
Fister spent 35 days on the disabled list with forearm tightness. He is 2-2 with a 4.31 ERA in seven starts.
Right-handed reliever Taylor Hill was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse. The 26-year-old Hill had a 3.75 ERA in six relief appearances for Washington, allowing five earned runs in 12 innings.
"He's been pressed into duty a couple of times in mid-games that he's had to come in and pitch multiple innings, but I think he's done well," manager Matt Williams said.
Williams added that RHP Max Scherzer will start on Friday, followed by Gio Gonzalez on Saturday and Joe Ross on Sunday.
