Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Wilson Ramos D.L. Wilson Ramos said Wednesday that he expects to undergo surgery to repair his torn right ACL in 2-3 weeks. Ramos also confirmed to reporters that he has no chance of returning this season. Jesus Flores has taken over as the Nationals' starting catcher and deserves to be owned in mixed fantasy leagues with spots for two backstops. Ramos batted .265/.354/.398 with three home runs and 10 RBI in 25 games this season. May 16
	2	Jesus Flores
	3	Sandy Leon D.L. Nationals placed C Sandy Leon on the 60-day disabled list with a high right ankle sprain. Leon suffered the injury just four innings into his major league debut Monday when he was involved in a collision with Padres' third baseman Chase Headley at home plate. The timetable for his return isn't clear, but he isn't eligible to come off the disabled list until mid-July. Carlos Maldonado has been called up from Triple-A Syracuse to take his place on the active roster. May 15

1B	1	Adam LaRoche
	2	Chad Tracy
	3	Chris Marrero D.L. Nationals manager Davey Johnson said Thursday that Chris Marrero had a setback with his shoulder. Marrero was already rehabbing a torn left hamstring, but the shoulder injury means he might not be ready to play again for another month or two. The 23-year-old batted .248/.274/.294 with five doubles and 10 RBI in 117 plate appearances for the Nationals down the stretch last season. May 10

	2	Mark DeRosa D.L. Mark DeRosa (oblique) threw and took dry swings Thursday. DeRosa did both at about 50-60 percent, so he's being eased into baseball activities. He will travel with the Nationals on their upcoming road trip and could return from the disabled list late next week. May 17
LF	1	Michael Morse D.L. Michael Morse (lat) is scheduled to begin a minor league rehab assignment Monday with High-A Potomac. Morse appeared in his first extended spring training game on Friday and hit a pair of home runs. He'll stay there through the weekend before joining Potomac. The Nationals want Morse back in time to DH for the series against the Red Sox on June 8, but it's possible he'll be ready before then. May 25

CF	1	Rick Ankiel
RF	1	Jayson Werth D.L. Nationals manager Davey Johnson indicated Monday that because Jayson Werth had surgery so quickly after suffering a broken left wrist, he might be able to cut three weeks off his recovery time. Werth was told the news by the doctor who operated on his wrist at the Mayo Clinic. The timetable was originally estimated to be around 12 weeks, but there's now a chance that he could return to action in late July or early August. There's still a long way to go, but it's about time the Nationals got some good news on the injury front. May 14

R	1	Drew Storen D.L. Drew Storen (elbow) is aiming to return to the Nationals around the All-Star break. We heard earlier this week from manager Davey Johnson that Storen could begin a minor league rehab assignment later this month, but it doesn't sound like that's the case. The closer made 100 light throws in a game of catch Wednesday, and there's currently no timetable for his return to the mound. Henry Rodriguez will continue to close until Storen is ready, assuming he hasn't lost the job by then. May 16
	2	Henry Rodriguez
	3	Tyler Clippard
	4	Brad Lidge D.L. Brad Lidge threw a bullpen session Wednesday for the first time since undergoing hernia surgery on May 1. Lidge could head to the team's spring complex in Viera, Florida on Thursday and should soon be ready for a minor league rehab assignment. The veteran right-hander is currently aiming to return from the disabled list on June 15. May 23
	5	Sean Burnett
	6	Tom Gorzelanny
	7	Ryan Mattheus D.L. Updating a previous item, Ryan Mattheus has been diagnosed with a partial tear in the plantar fascia in his left foot. Mattheus was apparently given the news when he visited a specialist Tuesday in Baltimore. He'll need to wear a walking boot for a few weeks, but should be able to continue some lifting and throwing while his foot heals. He is headed to the disabled list while Chien-Ming Wang (hamstring) will replace him on the active roster. May 22
	8	Craig Stammen
	9	Ryan Perry
	10	Chien-Ming Wang
	11	Cole Kimball D.L. Nationals placed RHP Cole Kimball on the 60-day disabled list with a right shoulder injury. Kimball underwent major shoulder surgery last July and is not expected to be ready for live action until right around the All-Star break this year. The 26-year-old right-hander will likely be stationed at Triple-A Syracuse once he returns to full health. Apr 3
