Strasburg Returns

Nationals pitching phenom Stephen Strasburg is off the 15-day DL and will pitch tonight against the Florida Marlins. Strasburg’s first trip to the DL was based on a little tightness in his pitching shoulder which was later diagnosed as inflammation. The Nationals have made it very clear that they are going to be extremely cautious with their ‘future’ in hopes of avoiding any major arm injuries. The number-one pick in the 2009 MLB Draft is 5-2 with 75 strikeouts, 15 walks and 2.32 ERA in his frist nine starts with the Nationals. I’m happy to hear he is back on the mound this evening and it should be a good show.
