Davey Martinez declined to discuss the unfortunate situation with Stephen Strasburg any further when he spoke to reporters following Washington’s 9-5 loss to Atlanta’s Braves in their series opener in Nationals Park on Monday.
Before the game, Martinez announced the 33-year-old starter, who’s worked his way back from surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome to make his first start of the year back on June 9th in Miami, had suffered a setback during a between-starts bullpen. Before the team got results from the MRI he went for, the manager said, he didn’t have much to add.
“You know what, we’ll talk about Stephen tomorrow, if that’s okay,” he said.
