The Washington Nationals’ pitchers and catchers will report to spring training in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Feb. 13, the team announced Tuesday.

Washington’s first spring training game will take place Feb. 23 against the Houston Astros, with whom they share FITTEAM Ballpark of the Palm Beaches during the spring.
