Nationals' Stephen Strasburg leaves start after two innings with apparent injury

Nationals All-Star starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg left his start on Sunday after just two innings, possibly due to injury. The Nationals don't provide injury updates during games, so we'll have to wait until the conclusion of their bout with the Diamondbacks before getting the full story.

Strasburg didn't allow a run in his two innings of work, but he did walk three. His velocity was normal, but command was way off. Many times command goes before velocity with an injury, too, so there has to be a level of concern before we get a concrete update.
