Strasburg leaves game after being hit by comebacker originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
Stephen Strasburg exited the Nationals’ game against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday in the second inning after a line drive appeared to strike him on the wrist of his left arm.
Though the glancing blow didn’t appear to cause an apparent injury, Strasburg’s velocity was down early on and he had already received a visit from a trainer before the line drive.
The Nationals’ right-hander was making just his fifth start of the season after missing five weeks with shoulder inflammation.
