The Nationals announced their rotation for after the All-Star break Saturday, and it doesn't include a No. 5 starter. They will start the second half with Stephen Strasburg Friday against the Dodgers, with Gio Gonzalez and Jordan Zimmermann following in that series. Dan Haren will open the next series July 22 against the Pirates.
The Nationals hope Ross Detwiler will be able to join the rotation after the break, but that will depend on whether he's healthy enough to come off the disabled list from a back injury.
