Miami enters the series carrying a thinned pitching staff after recent roster moves. The Marlins placed reliever Janson Junk on the 15-day injured list on May 31 due to right shin inflammation, while left-hander Andrew Nardi is expected to be sidelined approximately three months with a rib injury, per MLB.com. The club also placed Eury Perez on the 15-day IL retroactive to May 28 with a right gracilis strain. Closer Pete Fairbanks (2-3) took a recent loss against the Mets, surrendering two runs on one hit, compounding bullpen concerns ahead of the Washington trip. Miami's most recent results include a 7-5 loss to San Diego on May 29 and a 6-3 win at Cleveland on May 26. [FOX Sports, May 31]
