Washington Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez was asked after this past Friday’s trade that sent Gio Gonzalez to Milwaukee how they would fill the lefty’s spot in the rotation the next time it came around.
“We know we’ve got [Erick] Fedde coming back and Joe Ross will be back here soon,” the manager explained. “So we’re going to sit down tonight and figure out who’s going to fit in that spot next time around.”
Fedde (right shoulder) and Ross (Tommy John) are both returning from injuries, of course, so they’ll be handled carefully over the last month of the season, Martinez said.
