Stephen Strasburg missed over a month on the Injured List with inflammation in his right shoulder in April/May, returned, and went back on the IL after making just three starts, with a “neck strain” or what Davey Martinez described at the time as a bit of a nerve irritation in his neck. That was back on June 2nd.
Martinez was asked if there were any updates on Strasburg before the second of two with the Rays last night in Tropicana Field.
Is he able to throw at all? Is he shut down completely?
“He’s shut down,” Martinez said.
