Stephen Strasburg Likely Out For Season

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg is likely done for the season after just one start in 2022. The oft-injured hurler made his season debut with a start against the Miami Marlins on June 9th. Strasburg lasted just 4.2 innings in a loss against the Marlins. The soon-to-be 34-year-old gave up eight hits, walked a pair, and allowed seven earned runs while throwing 83 pitches.

Washington’s 2009 first overall pick has been dealing with thoracic outlet syndrome and a stress reaction in his ribs. Strasburg had not pitched in a big-league game for over a year before June.
