Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg is going back on the injured list.<\/p>\n
Manager Dave Martinez said Monday that Strasburg experienced discomfort Sunday after he threw a bullpen session on Saturday and was set to have an MRI. He had been scheduled to start Tuesday night against the Atlanta Braves after making his season debut last week.<\/p>\n
“He threw his bullpen [on Saturday]. The next day he didn’t feel so good, ” Martinez said. “We were hoping it was just something that would go away. It didn’t. Today, we sent him to get an MRI. We don’t have any results back yet. ”<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old right-hander allowed seven runs, eight hits and two walks in 4\u2154 innings against the Miami Marlins in that start, taking the loss. He also struck out five and hit a batter while averaging just 91.9 mph with his fastball.<\/p>\n
“He said he felt good after the game, ” Martinez said.” He said [his] legs felt fatigued, which was normal. But other than that, he said he felt fine. ”<\/p>\n
Before that, the three-time All-Star and 2019 World Series MVP had not pitched in a major league game since June 1 last year, spending much of the time recovering from surgery on July 28 to correct thoracic outlet syndrome, a compression of nerves , arteries or veins near the neck or armpit. He had made three minor league rehabilitation starts.<\/p>\n
The Nationals signed him to a seven-year, $ 245 million extension in December 2019, but because of injuries, he has made just eight major league starts since signing that contract, going 1-4 with a 6.89 ERA in those games.<\/p>\n
The former No. 1 overall pick is 113-62 with a 3.24 ERA in his major league career.<\/p>\n
