WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - The Nationals are playing their lone night game of the spring, their first (of course) at The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches. Time to see how the lights work here, and time to see how these guys deal with playing under the lights for a change.

It'll be Jacob Turner, still fighting for a spot as the long man in the bullpen, getting the start as the Nationals finish lining up their rotation for the season's first week. This should be Joe Ross' slot, but he just threw in a minor league game four days ago.

Most of the regulars are in the lineup, including Trea Turner, Adam Eaton, Bryce Harper, Ryan Zimmerman and Jayson Werth. No longer available off the bench is Clint Robinson, who was placed on waivers today and is heading home to wait the 72 hours while other teams have a chance to claim him. If none do, he'll have the right to accept or decline an outright assignment to Triple-A Syracuse.

Bob, F.P. and Dan have made their way back down to West Palm Beach for their final Grapefruit League telecast of the spring on MASN, so be sure to tune in ...
