Ross (blister) will be skipped in the rotation if he's not ready to pitch when his turn comes up Tuesday, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Nats are off Monday, which means they'll be able to keep the rest of the rotation on normal rest if he needs a little more time for his finger to heal up. Max Scherzer would take the mound against the Phillies on Tuesday if Ross isn't ready, with Ross then likely slotted back into the rotation Saturday in St. Louis.
