Stephen Strasburg Stats

Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez said on Thursday that starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (ribs) "feels a little bit better," but he isn't going to throw anytime soon. The Nationals aren't ruling out a return for Strasburg this year, but it seems unlikely. "If you do the math for him to come back, he's gonna need a while," Martinez said. Strasburg went on the injured list back on June 13 and only made one start before going back on the shelf, allowing seven earned runs on eight hits while walking two and striking out five in 4 2/3 innings against the Miami Marlins on June 9. The 34-year-old two-time All-Star will look to strengthen his shoulder for the 2023 season, but at this point in his career, it's hard to like the oft-injured right-hander.

Washington Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg (ribs) is not expected to return in 2022, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. While he won't need to undergo thoracic outlet surgery once again, he is dealing with a nerve issue that will keep him sidelined for the rest of the year. Strasburg was recently transferred to the 60-day injured list due to a stress reaction in his ribs. The 33-year-old just can't catch a break these days. His 2022 season comes to an end after just one start in which he allowed seven earned runs over 4 2/3 innings.

To make room for the return of Washington Nationals right-hander Anibal Sanchez from the 60-day injured list on Thursday, the Nationals moved starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (ribs) to the 60-day injured list, according to president of baseball operations and general manager Mike Rizzo. Strasburg landed on the 15-day injured list on June 14 due to a stress reaction in his ribs, and he'll now be out until at least the middle of August. With Washington sitting in dead-last in the National League East, it makes no sense for them to rush the oft-injured 33-year-old back. Strasburg missed the first two months of the season while recovering from thoracic outlet surgery, and he surrendered seven earned runs in 4 2/3 innings in his only start on June 9 before going back on the shelf. It wouldn't be a surprise if we didn't see Strasburg back with the Nats again in 2022.
