Nationals phenom Stephen Strasburg was scratched from his start last night due to right shoulder inflammation. I was ecstatic because I'm playing against him this week in fantasy and didn't feel like seeing his numbers as 27 K's, 0.00 ERA, 0.00 WHIP and a win. Strasburg has been nothing short of exceptional for the Nationals this year and the team has no interest in taking even the smallest of risks with Strasburg. He is listed as day-to-day and not expected to be put on the DL. In nine starts for Washington, Strasburg is 5-2 with a 2.32 ERA, 75 strikeouts and 15 walks in 54 1/3 innings. He has won his past three starts.
And if you happened to miss this gem, this is what a Strasburg curveball looks like:
