Nats' Strasburg headed to DL

Baseball Betting Lines

08/23/2010 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Washington Nationals rookie phenom Stephen Strasburg will be placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained flexor tendon in his right forearm.

According to the Mid-Atlantic Sportsbook Betting Lines, Strasburg's second MRI was still pending, and the team denied the righty the chance to throw on Monday. The retroactive date for the transaction has not yet been decided, and the team may not make an official move until Thursday.

In the fifth inning of Saturday's game against the Phillies, Strasburg's third pitch to Philadelphia right fielder Domonic Brown went for a ball, and the righty immediately winced in pain following the throw. He glanced down toward his elbow and began shaking his arm. Shortly thereafter, trainers and manager Jim Riggleman came out and replaced him with Craig Stammen.

The injury is similar to the one that cost A's pitcher Ben Sheets all of 2009. Sheets tore his flexor tendon at the end of 2008 before sitting out 2009, signing with Oakland and suffering the same injury in 2010, putting him on the shelf for the remainder of the season.

Saturday marked Strasburg's third start since coming off the disabled list earlier in the season for right shoulder inflammation.
