Some changes for the Nats this afternoon. Wilson Ramos makes his Washington debut, filling in for Ivan Rodriguez at catcher. Nyjer Morgan also returns from the 15-day disabled list while Josh Willingham (knee) goes on it. We’re not likely to see Willingham again this season. Adam Dunn gets a day off with Michael Morse at first base. John Lannan (4-5, 5.23 ERA) looked good in his last start against the Diamondbacks on Aug. 13. We’ll see if that continues today. Atlanta (71-49) is in first place in the National League East and has taken the first two games of this series against the last-place Nats (51-69). Here are the lineups.
