Nationals' Stephen Strasburg (elbow) on track to return Saturday

Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg is on track to start Saturday, according MASN Sports' Mark Zuckerman.

What It Means:

Per Zuckerman, Strasburg seems to be back to his normal regimen after pitching five innings at Single-A Potomac on Monday. If all goes as planned, he figures to get the start for Saturday's road game against the San Francisco Giants.

Through 20 starts, Strasburg is 10-3 with a 3.13 FIP and 10.43 strikeouts per 9 innings. We project him for a 4-2 record and 53 strikeouts in 51-plus innings the rest of the year.
