2 years agoWashington Nationals manager Dave Martinez said on Thursday that starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (ribs) "feels a little bit better," but he isn't going to throw anytime soon. The Nationals aren't ruling out a return for Strasburg this year, but it seems unlikely. "If you do the math for him to come back, he's gonna need a while," Martinez said. Strasburg went on the injured list back on June 13 and only made one start before going back on the shelf, allowing seven earned runs on eight hits while walking two and striking out five in 4 2/3 innings against the Miami Marlins on June 9. The 34-year-old two-time All-Star will look to strengthen his shoulder for the 2023 season, but at this point in his career, it's hard to like the oft-injured right-hander.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
