Stephen Strasburg went 2 2⁄3 innings on 61 pitches in his return to live game action with the Single-A Fredericksburg Nationals on Tuesday night, with the 33-year-old, 2009 No. 1 overall pick (and 2019 World Series MVP) giving up three hits and three runs while striking out four.
While the unfortunate news for Joe Ross, (who felt tightness in his right elbow and went for an MRI after his 2022 debut in a rehab start of his own), got the headlines yesterday, it was positive news for Strasburg following his initial outing this year, as he rehabs from surgery for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome he underwent last summer.
