Stephen Strasburg expected to make next start for Nats
All appears to be good on the Stephen Strasburg injury front, at least for now.
The Washington Nationals ace is expected to make his next scheduled start for the team despite leaving his Sunday start with forearm discomfort.
Doctors examined Strasburg, compared to past exams, and think he is fine, Dusty said. For now, expect he is able to make next start.

The Nats said Tuesday that whatever issue Strasburg had has been alleviated.
A Nationals spokesperson said Strasburg had "some nerve impingement that has been alleviated." Nothing on where specifically.

Strasburg also went through his normal throwing routine, which is also a good sign.
This came after Strasburg threw on flat ground so sounds like that went well and he's good to go for his next start. But nothing official. https://t.co/rKFUUbuNXf

The oft-injured 29-year-old is having another fine season for the Nats. He is 15-4 with a 3.60 ERA and 183 strikeouts in 147.2 inning this season.
