Since the end of the 2019 campaign, when he helped lead the Washington Nationals to the first World Series championship by a D.C.-based team since 1924, Stephen Strasburg, MVP of that title run, has made a total of seven starts. Strasburg has thrown just 26 2⁄3 innings in the last two seasons, while dealing with carpal tunnel neuritis (which required a surgical fix that ended his 2020 campaign), right shoulder inflammation, (which kept him on the Injured List for more than a month early this season), and now right lat tightness (which ended his latest outing after just 1 1⁄3 innings Tuesday night in Atlanta, and has subsequently landed him back on the 10-Day IL).
