Today, the Washington Nationals will get a valued member of their starting rotation back as Joe Ross will take the mound at Turner Field against the Braves. It will be Ross’ first start since July 2 against the Reds. After that game, he went on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation.
While its great to have Ross back, his start will be cut short today. Before yesterday’s loss to the Atlanta Braves, Dusty Baker addressed the media and talked about how Ross will only go three innings today:
“Let’s see how his arm feels,” Baker said.
