Nationals' Jayson Werth: Fully healthy headed into 2017

Werth reported to camp fully healthy this year, The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

This qualifies as good news for the oft-injured 37-year-old, who ended the 2016 season dealing with nagging back problems. Werth is headed into the final year of his contract with the Nationals and is set as the team's Opening Day left fielder, but he's only managed to take 500 at-bats twice in the last five years, so even repeating last season's 21 home runs could be a challenge.
