Derek Hill - Sent for MRI on hamstringHill will undergo an MRI on his right hamstring Thursday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

ImpactHill pulled up in pain after legging out an infield single in Wednesday afternoon's Grapefruit League loss to the Yankees. A strain of any kind would obviously severely damage his chances of making the Nationals' Opening Day roster. The 27-year-old outfielder inked a minor-league contract with Washington back in November.

Matthew Liberatore - Impresses in spring debutLiberatore pitched two perfect innings Tuesday versus the Nationals in a Grapefruit League game.

ImpactLiberatore is pushing for a rotation spot this season, but it could be an uphill battle. Steven Matz and Dakota Hudson are likely the favorites to be the fifth starter, which could mean Liberatore begins the year in the bullpen or at Triple-A Memphis. The southpaw struggled in his first taste of the majors last year, pitching to a 5.97 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 28:18 K:BB across 34.2 innings, but there's little reason to worry about his long-term outlook entering his age-23 season.
