Velo issue won't force Strasburg to miss a start

NEW YORK -- The endurance concerns that affected Stephen Strasburg (Stras) in his return from the disabled list Wednesday won't keep him from making another start next week in Philadelphia.

Strasburg threw a between-starts bullpen session Friday at Citi Field, and Nationals manager Dave Martinez said everything went as planned. While Martinez didn't yet list a date for Strasburg to pitch, his spot in the rotation would come up Monday.

"He said [the bullpen session] went well," Martinez said.

Strasburg's start Wednesday was his first since July 20 and just his second since June 8.
