Nationals' Stephen Strasburg feels good after visiting chiropractor

Washington Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg always suspected his sore right shoulder simply needed an adjustment. He visited with a chiropractor Wednesday and said he felt better immediately.

“It was instant,” Strasburg said. “He felt around for a little bit, saw what was different form the other side, just got it all out of there. So [it was] night and day.”

Strasburg played catch later Wednesday and then again on Friday, each time without issue. He plans to throw a bullpen session Saturday, and the result of that session will determine whether he makes his next scheduled start Monday.
