With six innings of one-run ball on Thursday in the Washington Nationals’ 8-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, Joe Ross helped his manager, Matt Williams, make a decision.
Ross will remain in the Nationals’ rotation and make his next start during the team’s California road trip next week. With Stephen Strasburg set to make his first start off the disabled list against the Colorado Rockies on Saturday, Doug Fister will move to the bullpen to make room for Strasburg’s return.
“I feel good,” Ross said.
