Javier will start Saturday against the Nationals, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Javier followed Jake Odorizzi in his last outing, throwing three scoreless innings Sunday against the Tigers. Javier will have the chance to start in a traditional role Saturday, with Odorizzi likely pushed back a few days. Across 21.2 innings this season, Javier has maintained a 0.83 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB while working as both a starter and multi-inning reliever.
