Guthrie may be called up for a Saturday start in the Nationals' road series against the Phillies, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joe Ross isn't yet eligible for a call-up because he must stay optioned for 10 days and must wait until April 12. Guthrie, on the other hand, can come up on demand because he was optioned to the farm earlier. Most fantasy owners are likely better off using Phillies batters against Guthrie than actually clicking on the veteran right-hander for a start.
