(Patrick McDermott/Getty Images)ATLANTA — The Washington Nationals promised to announce Wednesday’s starter after their series opener with the Atlanta Braves, and Manager Dave Martinez was good on his word. It will be Aníbal Sánchez, Martinez confirmed following his team’s 5-4 win over the Braves on Tuesday, bringing the 35-year-old right-hander off the 10-day injured list. There will need to be a corresponding move before first pitch to make room for Sánchez on the 25-man roster. Sánchez will face Braves starter Kevin Gausman as the Nationals look for a quick two-game sweep of their division rivals.
