WASHINGTON -- Stephen Strasburg's season is over.
The Washington Nationals transferred the star right-hander to the 60-day disabled list Saturday. Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Strasburg will undergo carpal tunnel surgery next week.
Strasburg, last year's World Series MVP, was first placed on the injured list Aug. 15 with carpal tunnel neuritis of the right hand.
"Hopefully, surgery goes well," Martinez said. "The biggest thing is that surgery relieves anything he has, and he's able to rehab and come back strong next spring training. Long-term goal, that's what we're hoping for."
Strasburg, 32, signed a seven-year, $245 million contract with Washington during the offseason.
