In making room for returning SP Stephen Strasburg, the Washington Nationals have decided to move Doug Fister to the bullpen. Rookie Joe Ross will retain his spot in the team's rotation. (Mark Zuckerman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Fister and Ross made this an easy decision, based on their performances of late. While Fister was awesome for the Nats last season, he's been a shell of himself in 2015. He dealt with an arm injury in the first half of the season, and he's throwing with diminished velocity, so there could be something more seriously wrong with the right-hander.
