PITTSBURGH — The Nationals are in Pittsburgh but pitcher Stephen Strasburg was in Lynchburg, Virginia, on Tuesday.
The right-handed pitcher made a minor league rehab appearance for high Single-A Potomac on the road in a Carolina League contest against the Hillcats, a farm club of the Cleveland Indians.
Strasburg went 3 1/3 innings and allowed one run on two hits with five strikeouts. He threw 57 pitches at Lynchburg, with 34 strikes before being lifted with one out in the fourth.
Strasburg has been on the disabled list since June 10 with right shoulder inflammation.
