Strasburg’s 2010 is over?

StephenStrasburg1 205x300 Strasburgs 2010 is over?Washington Nationals phenom Stephen Strasburg left last night’s start against the Phillies with what has been diagnosed as a strain of the flexor tendon in his right forearm. And sources have told injury expert Will Carroll that Strasburg will need to see a specialist or two. This isn’t good, but contrary to some reports, Strasburg has not officially been shut down for the season (even if it’s easy to infer that it’s a likely conclusion).

“RT @washingnats: #Strasburg has not been shut down for the season, according to GM Mike Rizzo. #Nats,” Carroll retweets.

Carroll modified his earlier tweet that Strasburg will need to see the dreaded Dr. James Andrews.

“To clarify, sources told me that Nats would consult with specialists after MRI. Assumed Andrews, forgot Stras is SoCal; could be Yocum,” Carroll tweets.

Regardless of whether he is done for the season or not, this is a bit of a concern. When you throw high 90′s consistently and you start to break down, that’s a problem. We hope that he doesn’t continue to have arm issues throughout his career, but it is the Nationals we are talking about.
