Nationals right-hander Strasburg to make rehab start Wednesday at Triple-A
Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg on Wednesday will make his first rehab start since he was hurt on July 4.
Strasburg is expected to throw 60 to 70 pitches for Triple-A Syracuse. He has been sidelined with a strained left oblique sustained in a start against the San Francisco Giants.
Strasburg won his first two starts after coming off the 15-day disabled list on June 23, allowing a combined two runs, to improve to 5-5 with a 5.16 ERA on the season.
The former No. 1 overall draft pick had spent nearly a month on the DL due to soreness in his neck and shoulder. He is expected to make at least two rehab starts before rejoining the Nationals.
Strasburg is back! Relive the excitement Wednesday as he starts vs. BUF at 7:05 PM. Tickets: http://t.co/v7rmXHVL8J pic.twitter.com/cYYuTbFa5f
