Stephen Strasburg Leaves Start vs. Giants with Apparent Shoulder Injury
Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg was removed from Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants with an injury.
Per MASN's Dan Kolko, Strasburg appeared to be favoring his right shoulder after throwing pitches. He allowed three runs on five hits with two strikeouts and two innings before being taken out.
It's the first setback of the 2018 season for Strasburg, who avoided major injuries during a prosperous 2017 season.
In 28 starts a year ago, the three-time All-Star went 15-4 with a career-best 2.52 ERA, 1.015 WHIP, 204 strikeouts and 47 walks.
