Stephen Strasburg Stats

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (neck) remains shut down from throwing, according to Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post. Manager Dave Martinez said that Strasburg is only doing lower body exercises currently, and that there is a good chance Strasburg will have a follow up appointment in the next few days with another specialist, as he continues to deal with a nerve irritation. Strasburg was placed on the 10-day IL last week with a neck strain, after exiting his last start in the middle of the second inning. He's struggled to stay healthy this season, as he has pitched only 21 2/3 innings across five starts. When he's on the mound, he's posted a 1-2 record and 4.57 ERA with 21 strikeouts. Managers will hope that he can resume throwing soon, and for now they should continue to keep an eye out for further updates.

Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg has been placed on the 10-day injury list with a neck strain. Strasburg pitched in 1 1/3 frames on Tuesday before exiting the game with the injury. He has had trouble staying healthy in his career, and in 2021 he's thrown in five games logging 21 2/3 innings pitched. With a record of 1-2 and a 4.57 ERA this year, fantasy managers may want to place Strasburg into an IL spot as there is no timetable on when he will be back in the Nationals pitching rotation.

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (trapezius) was removed from Tuesday's start against the Atlanta Braves after 30 pitches. It was revealed after the game by Nationals manager Dave Martinez that Strasburg's trapezius muscle got tight during the start, which caused the early exit. His exit came right after he was hit by a comebacker off the bat of Braves catcher William Contreras, but it sounds like the trapezius injury may be unrelated to the comebacker. Strasburg is scheduled to have an MRI on Wednesday. The results of the MRI should give us more information as to whether another stint on the injured list will be required.
