Stephen Strasburg (hand) will make his season debut on Sunday against the Orioles, Britt Ghiroli of The Athletic reports. The goal is reportedly for him to throw 75-80 pitches. (Britt Ghiroli on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Strasburg has been dealing with a nerve issue in his hand that caused him to be scratched from his scheduled start for the team's second game of the season. The nerve issue is concerning, but this is something he has reportedly dealt with before. The estimated pitch count of 75-80 pitches could theoretically give him enough of a leash to get through the fifth inning and qualify for a win, but it's unclear how sharp Strasburg will look after such a long layoff.
