Strasburg stratched with hand nerve issue. MORE:
was scratched from what was supposed to be his first start of the season for the Washington Nationals on Saturday night because of a nerve issue with his right hand.
Nationals manager Dave Martinez announced about four hours before the scheduled first pitch against the visiting New York Yankees that Strasburg would be replaced as his team's starter byMartinez said Strasburg, a righty who was bothered by the wrist and thumb of that hand, was given an injection for the issue, likening it to “basically a cortisone shot.”He said Strasburg felt something was wrong with his hand during an exhibition game last week against the Baltimore Orioles.
“He was a little irritated,” Martinez said, “and then over these past few days, it really was bothering him.”In 2019, Strasburg became the first pitcher to finish a post-season with a 5-0 record, helping the Nationals with the franchise's first championship. He then opted out of what was left on his contract and re-signed with Washington for $245 million over seven years.
