Lineups: Nats vs. Tigers in West Palm Beach

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - If you needed more evidence that Victor Robles and Eric Thames emerged from Saturday's return from injury feeling strong, here it is: Both are back in the lineup today against the Tigers.

Robles will again lead off and serve as designated hitter. Thames, who was the DH in Saturday's home split-squad game, will bat second and play first base. All of this is a good sign that both guys are fully healed and ready for the two-week push to get ready for opening day. Robles and Thames are joined in the lineup by Starlin Castro, Juan Soto and AsdrÃºbal Cabrera, among others. And they'll be going up against old pal Jordan Zimmermann, who gets the start for Detroit.

Erick Fedde is on the mound for the Nationals, and it's possible this will be the last chance he gets to make a start down here. With time running out and members of the rotation needing to line themselves up for their first starts of the regular season, there may not be another opportunity for Fedde to make his case for the No. 5 job. With Joe Ross and Austin Voth having already pitched well (and being out of options), it's always been an uphill climb for Fedde.
