The sight of Stephen Strasburg grimacing after throwing several pitches Tuesday night, then being visited on the mound by a trainer, then being pulled after three ragged but hardly awful innings could not have been comforting to the Nationals or to fans who understandably fear the worst anytime something appears to physically be wrong with the right-hander.
Strasburg and the Nationals, though, gave the impression after Tuesday’s 2-1 loss to the Marlins that this latest ailment — discomfort under his shoulder blade — can be corrected with chiropractic work and isn’t a true shoulder or elbow injury that would be fair greater cause for concern.
