PHILADELPHIA - It's an absolute mess in South Philly today. In every possible way. The weather is terrible. The traffic is terrible because of the nearby Broad Street Run. There's a Sixers playoff game across the street at 3:30 p.m. And then there's the Nationals roster.
For now, the Phillies say they're going to try to get this game in, though it won't start on time at 2:05 p.m. The Nats, meanwhile, haven't put out a lineup yet because they're waiting for MRI results on Matt Adams' shoulder and Michael A. Taylor's wrist. They did already put Adams on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder strain and recalled Jake Noll from Triple-A Fresno. Noll is supposed to play first base, with Davey Martinez saying he had to give Howie Kendrick a breather.
AnÃbal Sánchez, meanwhile, will try to turn in a quality start. This is already his third start against the Phillies this season. He has given up seven runs on 11 hits and six walks in only 9 2/3 total innings. He's also still seeking his first win as a National.
