FREDERICKSBURG, VA – In conjunction with the Washington Nationals, the Fredericksburg Nationals announce that three-time MLB All-Star and 2019 World Series MVP starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg will start Tuesday’s Fredericksburg Nationals game against the Salem Red Sox at Virginia Credit Union Stadium as part of a minor league rehab assignment. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
Media wanting to attend Tuesday’s game should email Eric Bach at [email protected] for a credential.
Strasburg, the first overall pick of the Nationals in the 2009 draft, missed most of the 2021 season and underwent surgery in July of 2021 to alleviate neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome in his arm.
In 246 Major League games, Strasburg holds a record of 113-61, an ERA of 3.21, and has struck out over 1,700 batters in his career.
