Filed under: Nationals, MLB Injuries, MLB RumorsThe Washington Nationals will shut down pitcher Stephen Strasburg regardless of the results of a second MRI exam scheduled for Thursday, according to a report on SI.com.
Strasburg, who came out of his most recent start on Saturday in Philadelphia with what has been initially diagnosed as a strained flexor tendon in his right forearm, is set to have an arthogram, an enhanced MRI examination in which dye is injected into the area of the injury, so that doctors can better tell if there is more extensive damage.
The 22-year-old phenom has been handled with extreme caution by the Nationals since they selected him No. 1 overall in last year's draft, especially with the club floundering in last place in the NL East.
