Stephen Strasburg will make at least one more rehab start with Triple-A Syracuse on Monday before rejoining the Nationals, according to The Washington Post.
Strasburg has been battling an oblique injury that will force him to miss over a month of action. The right-hander’s last start was on 4th of July when he was forced to leave a game against the San Francisco Giants 3 2/3 innings in after allowing one hit and no runs.
Stephen Strasburg will make another rehab start, presumably his final one before returning, for Syracuse on Monday.

Even without Strasburg, the Nationals have been able to lead the National League East. They currently hold a two-game lead over the New York Mets, as both teams play a big weekend series in New York.
Strasburg, 27, hasn’t had that good of a season this year. The power pitcher has a 5.16 ERA and a 5-5 record in 13 starts. The former first overall draft pick has been one of the better NL pitchers throughout this five-year career but he just hasn’t found his form this year.
