Manager Dusty Baker was asked about where a rainout would leave his pitching rotation for the weekend. Would he feel better about moving a veteran or a rookie from his scheduled start?
"I like to keep a veteran where he is. But we haven't discussed it," Baker said during tonight's pregame.
The Nationals announced that Tanner Roark will start Saturday night's game against Colorado right-hander German Márquez.
Erick Fedde is then expected to make his major league debut Sunday afternoon, while Edwin Jackson is set to pitch the nightcap. The Rockies say Kyle Freeland and Jon Gray are their pitchers for Sunday, but are not sure yet of order.
The Nationals head to Miami Sunday night. The Rockies have a day off Monday before returning to play in Denver on Tuesday against the New York Mets.
