Ross will make his first start of the season for the Nationals on Wednesday in Atlanta, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

Fantasy owners of the right-hander are happy they can finally use his promising skills. Ross twirled seven innings of one-run ball on just 85 pitches Thursday for Triple-A Syracuse. He was unavailable the last time the team needed a No. 5 starter because he was optioned too late in the offseason and wasn't in the minors for at least 10 days. If he's available in your league's free agent pool, Ross is worth an immediate pickup, even with concerns over how stringent the Nats will be with his workload.
