Strasburg will start the Nationals' third game of the season, following Opening Day starter Max Scherzer and Gio Gonzalez, The Washington Post reports.
It was expected that Strasburg would fill the second spot in the rotation, but Nats manager Dusty Baker decided he'd rather have Gonzalez, who sometimes has trouble going deep into games, follow Scherzer to try and protect his bullpen. This shouldn't have an impact on Strasburg's fantasy outlook, as health permitting he'll still be in position for his second career campaign of 200-plus innings.
