Washington Nationals news & notes: Davey Martinez on Stephen Strasburg; Bullpen talk; the rally helmet + more...

Stephen Strasburg threw a bullpen session in Nationals Park on Saturday morning. He’s on the 10-Day IL with right shoulder inflammation, but the 32-year-old, ‘09 No. 1 overall pick is working his way back, slowly but surely.

“He’s out there right now,” Davey Martinez told reporters in the manager’s pregame Zoom call with reporters. “[Pitching Coach] Jim [Hickey] is with him. I was watching a little bit of it in my office, I’ll find out what’s going on after he throws. He looked pretty good. He just got started throwing, but we’ll see how he feels after the session today.
