The
Nationals have called up
John Lannan to start the first game of today's doubleheader against the Marlins. No corresponding roster move was necessary because of a new rule that allows teams to carry 26 players on the active roster for doubleheaders.
Also,
Bryce Harper is sitting out Game 1 with
Jayson Werth starting in center field.
For the Nationals:
SS Danny Espinosa
2B Steve Lombardozzi
3B Ryan Zimmerman
CF Jayson Werth
1B Adam LaRoche
LF Tyler Moore
RF Mark DeRosa
C Jesus Flores
P John Lannan
Update: Michael Morse is out of the starting lineup for game one of the doubleheader because of a stomach bug. Davey Johnson said he hopes Morse will feel well enough to play in the nightcap.
