Before the series finale with the Atlanta Braves on Thursday, Washington Nationals’ manager Davey Martinez updated reporters on his injured pitchers Stephen Strasburg (right shoulder inflammation) and Wander Suero (left oblique strain). Both threw in a simulated game and it apparently went well for each of them.
“Strasburg threw two innings, 35 pitches, threw the ball well,” Martinez said. “We’ll see how he feels tomorrow and then we’ll go from there.”
“If everything goes well he’ll probably throw another sim game some time early next week.”
And Suero?
