Davey Martinez broke the bad news on the first day of Spring Training this past Wednesday, telling reporters Stephen Strasburg suffered another setback in his rehab from the surgery for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome he underwent in 2021.
Strasburg, 34, helped Washington win the first World Series by a D.C.-based ballclub since 1924 in 2019, and signed a 7-year/$245M free agent deal after briefly testing the free agent market the following winter, but has taken the mound just eight times and thrown just 31 1⁄3 innings in the majors in the last three seasons, while he has dealt with a variety of injuries.
