WASHINGTON -- The Nationals placed pitcher Doug Fister on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with a strained muscle on the right side of his upper back. The move is retroactive to March 23. The Nationals made the announcement in finalizing their opening day roster after their scheduled exhibition game against the Detroit Tigers was cancelled because of rain. Fister will be shut down for five days before resuming his rehabilitation. The right-hander, obtained in an off-season trade with Detroit, is expected to miss anywhere from three weeks to 30 days, manager Matt Williams said. Taylor Jordan takes over the No. 5 spot in Washingtons rotation. After a morning of light rain, with heavier rain forecast later in the afternoon, the game was called at its scheduled 2 p.m. start time. It was to be the final exhibition game for both teams. Detroit begins the season Monday at home against the Kansas City Royals. Washington travels to New York for its opener Monday against the Mets. STARTING TIME The scheduled starting pitchers Saturday were Anibal Sanchez for the Tigers, and Tanner Roark for Washington. Sanchez, slotted to pitch Thursday against the Royals, will throw a simulated game Sunday in Detroit, according to manager Brad Ausmus. Instead of the 80-85 pitches Sanchez was set to throw Saturday, he will likely throw 50 on Sunday in the simulated game. Williams said Roark, who is slated to pitch the teams home opener Friday against the Braves, would throw a "heavy bullpen" on Saturday. Saints Jerseys 2020 .
