When he spoke to reporters before the second of three with the A’s in Oakland on Saturday, Davey Martinez was not ready to announce who’d start for Washington in the series opener with the LA Dodgers tonight in Chavez Ravine.
“No. I was talking to [GM Mike Rizzo] today about some other things,” Martinez said, “... but we haven’t decided who’s going to pitch on Monday, but I will hopefully let you guys know tomorrow.”
Asked at the time if a bullpen game was a possibility, the manager said it was something the club discussed.
The Nationals are calling up LHP Mitchell Parker to make his MLB debut tomorrow, via sources.
