Stephen Strasburg (elbow) won't be available in NLCS for Nationals
Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg (elbow) is not going to be an option the National League Championship Series, manager Dusty Baker confirmed on Thursday.
What It Means:
"He won't be available for the next series," Baker revealed to reporters before Game 5 of the National League Divisional Series. "It would be a miracle if he was." Strasburg threw a bullpen session Monday, which caused renewed discomfort in his right elbow, as he was diagnosed with a pronator tendon strain in September. He probably won't be making an appearance this postseason.
During the 2016 regular season, Strasburg posted a 3.60 ERA and 3.19 SIERA in 147 2/3 innings, while his 30.6 percent strikeout rate was his best since his 2010 rookie campaign. numberFire currently gives the Nationals a 9.5 percent chance of winning the World Series.
