Man, it’s only been three days in the 2020 MLB season, and the hits keep coming for the Washington Nationals. First it was Juan Soto, who tested positive for COVID-19, and then Tres Barrera tested positive for a PED, and was suspended for 80 games, and now there, apparently, is a nerve issues with Stephen Strasburg’s right wrist/thumb.
Strasburg was scratched from tonight’s planned outing against the New York Yankees with what manager Davey Martinez told reporters was, “a nerve issue with his right hand.”
“We had to change starting pitchers today,” Martinez said as he started his pregame press conference with reporters.
