Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said Tuesday that the future of Stephen Strasburg is up in the air after a number of injuries limited him to one start this season.
Before the Nationals were scheduled to play a day game at the New York Mets, general manager Mike Rizzo said about the World Series Most Valuable Player. He is working to strengthen his core and other parts of his body. We will have to see. It's not familiar to us due to the type of surgery and rehabilitation he's had. A lot of people don't know what it is. We will have to take it one day at a time.
Over the last three seasons, the right-handed pitcher has thrown a total of 3113 in just eight starts. He had carpal tunnel surgery in 2020.
He went back on the injured list after his only start of the following year.
The rehabilitation process will take us later on in the winter. He's going to be monitored. We'll see him all the time because he's local and we'll see where he's at when spring training starts.
A three-time All-Star, Stephen Strasburg signed a $245 million contract with the Washington Nationals.
He has compiled a career record of 112-62 with a 3.30 average.
Washington entered Tuesday with a majors-worst and Nationals-worst record of 55-106 and shipped away the team's best player at the trade deadline.
The season was a disappointment. We're the worst team in the league right now according to our record, and I've always said that to you. It's difficult to disagree with that. We are in a process.
The two men were given contract extensions during the year. The entire coaching staff will come back.
