World Series MVP Stephen Strasburg was diagnosed with carpal tunnel neuritis in his throwing hand after landing on the injured list earlier this month.
While speaking to the media Friday, Nationals manager Dave Martinez announced Strasburg received the diagnosis after visiting a nerve specialist Thursday. Martinez said the team is still coming up with a plan to address the injury and admitted surgery is an option.
The team classified Strasburg's injury as "carpal tunnel neuritis of the right hand" when it initially placed him on the IL.
The 32-year-old Strasburg's 2020 season got off to a rocky beginning after being scratched from the rotation his first couple of starts.
