Nationals to announce Strasburg MRI results
WASHINGTON — The Washington Nationals have scheduled a conference call for Friday morning to announce the results of Stephen Strasburg’s latest medical test.
The star rookie pitcher has had two MRIs since he was removed from Saturday’s game at Philadelphia. The initial diagnosis was a strained tendon in his right forearm. But the first MRI raised enough questions for the team to order a more enhanced MRI that was performed Thursday.
Strasburg was placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday, the second time he’s been on the DL in less than a month.
