Strasburg throws 60 pitches in BP session

MILWAUKEE -- Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg threw a live batting practice session before Friday's game against the Brewers at Miller Park. The right-hander threw 60 pitches and reported no problems.

"He threw all of his pitches and he felt good coming out," Nationals manager Matt Williams said. "Once he gets a good night's sleep and gets back here tomorrow, we'll re-evaluate him. If he's through 60 [pitches] and feels good about it, then we'll get him a rehab start and ramp that intensity level up."

Strasburg is on the 15-day disabled list due to a left trapezius strain.
