Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg will throw another simulated game on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

In his previous simulated game, Strasburg worked up to 35 pitches. With an upcoming sim game on Tuesday, Strasburg should ramp up his pitch count even more. He only made two starts in 2021 with a 6.30 ERA in ten innings pitched. Keep stashing and holding onto Strasburg as he should return soon.

Stephen Strasburg threw 35 pitches over two innings of work in a simulated game on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

As was expected, Strasburg pitched within the 35 to 40 pitch range that manager Dave Martinez announced earlier this week. As was mentioned before, it looks as though Strasburg is continuing to build up strength in his arm before seeing live game action. There is still no definitive timetable for his return, but it seems as though Strasburg is on the right track.

Washington Nationals RHP Stephen Strasburg, who's on the injured list with a mid-shoulder injury, is scheduled to pitch in a simulated game on Thursday at Nationals Park, per manager Dave Martinez.

Fantasy Impact

Martinez added that Strasburg should throw around 35-40 pitches in the simulated game. It sounds like the 32-year-old right-hander is still building up strength in his arm as there's still no timetable for his return. If all goes well on Thursday then he could be in line for another simulated game before having a rehab assignment.
