Split-squad lineups: Nats vs. Astros and Marlins

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Good news: The skies have cleared, the rain is long gone and it should be a beautiful day for baseball. So beautiful, the Nationals are going to play two - at the same time. It's a split-squad day, with half of the guys staying home to face the Astros again while the other half of the roster goes to Jupiter to face the Marlins.

t'll be our first opportunity to see two of the pitchers battling for the No. 5 starter's job, with Austin Voth going up against the Astros and Erick Fedde taking the mound against the Marlins. Davey Martinez isn't going to make any decisions based off one late February start, but this could be a good opportunity for either guy to make an early case for the job.

Most of the regulars are playing in one game or the other. Trea Turner, Asdrúbal Cabrera, Starlin Castro, Howie Kendrick, Yan Gomes and Michael A. Taylor are here in West Palm Beach. The entire starting outfield (Juan Soto, Victor Robles, Adam Eaton), plus Kurt Suzuki, Eric Thames and Carter Kieboom are going to Jupiter.

We'll do our best to provide updates on both games right here ...
