Nationals GM Calls Stephen Strasburg\'s 2023 Status \'A Mystery\' 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Oct 5, 2022 12:21 pm

Stephen Strasburg\'s status for the Washington Nationals next season is up in the air.

Injuries limited Strasburg to just one start in 2022.

\"It\'s still a little bit of a mystery,\" Mike Rizzo said. \"I know that he\'s working hard strengthening his core and the other parts of his body. We\'re just going to have to see. With the type of surgery and rehab that he\'s had, it\'s unfamiliar to us. It\'s unfamiliar to a lot of people. We\'re going to have to take it day by day.\"

Strasburg, 34, has thrown a total of 31 1/3 innings across just eight starts over the past three seasons combined. He had carpal tunnel surgery in 2020, then needed an operation to correct thoracic outlet syndrome in 2021.

After his only start of 2022, he went back on the injured list with a stress reaction of the ribs.

\"We\'ll have to see where the rehab process takes us later on in the winter,\" Rizzo said. \"We\'re going to monitor him. He\'s local, so we\'ll see him all the time and we\'ll see where he\'s at going into spring training mode.\"
