Stephen Strasburg Backed Off His Throwing Program
3 years agoWashington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (neck) had an "uncomfortable" feeling in his neck in a recent throwing session and has been backed down, according to manager Dave Martinez. The team is looking at their next options, which could include a trip to another specialist. Fantasy managers shouldn't rush to drop the right-hander, but it's looking more and likely that there's a chance he won't be back at all after being out since early June. The 33-year-old wasn't exactly good before landing on the injured list in his five starts, either, posting a 4.57 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 21 strikeouts in 21 2/3 innings. Stay tuned for more updates on what's next for Strasburg, but fantasy managers obviously shouldn't expect him back anytime soon.
