Nationals’ starter Stephen Strasburg, GM Mike Rizzo, manager Dusty Baker and pitching coach Mike Maddux talked keeping Stras healthy in 2017.

Stephen Strasburg talked earlier this winter about falling in love with his slider in 2016, and the 28-year-old shared his thoughts on how he believed it eventually led to the partial pronator tear in his right arm that ended his season.

While he said he had no plans to eliminate the slider from his repertoire, he did say he might mix things up a bit more with his other offspeed offerings.
