Last we heard on Stephen Strasburg, the Washington Nationals decided to slow things a bit with his rehab work from the neck strain that landed him on the 10-Day IL in early June, with Strasburg feeling “discomfort” in the same area after throwing a sim game last week, but a couple reporters in Nationals Park on Monday saw the 32-year-old righty throwing off of the bullpen mound, which presumably meant that he felt better. So, was that the case?
“Stephen Strasburg threw a bullpen today,” Davey Martinez confirmed in his pregame Zoom call on Monday afternoon.
