Before last night’s game, Washington Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez provided updates on a number of the injured Nats, including Stephen Strasburg, who’s missed two starts in the first two weeks with a nerve impingement in his right wrist, though the cortisone shot he received seems to have had positive effects.
Strasburg is set to throw a bullpen today as he takes the next step in his work to get back on the mound in game action.
“He’s going to throw a bullpen tomorrow,” Martinez said on Tuesday afternoon.
“Actually, we’re going to get him to throw a [simulated game], he’s going to throw to some hitters, and then we’ll see how he does from there.
