Any thing happen to John Lannan. He is not listed on the Nats 40-man roster.

He is listed under 'Not on the NLDS Roster' and in bold, meaning he's on the 40-man roster. Let me know if it shows up otherwise on your browser.

What I meant is he is not listed on the official site of the Nationals. I just found that odd since no one has reported anything. I checked here first since I know how up to date and accurate you keep things.

Must've been a mistake by MLB.com. I know he's a non-tender candidate but it hasn't happened yet.
