Washington Nationals manager Dusty Baker said he plans to shuffle the team's pitching rotation heading into Monday's game against the Miami Marlins.
Baker said the team will insert A.J. Cole into the rotation and start him on Monday, replacing scheduled starter Stephen Strasburg in the series opener between National League East foes.
Since Cole was demoted less than 10 days ago, the Nats can add the 25-year-old right-hander only to replace an injured player. An announcement on a corresponding move is expected to come Monday.
Cole is 1-4 with a 4.
