Washington Nationals August 27/2010
Nationals GM Mike Rizzo said that Stephen Strasburg is likely to need Tommy John surgery to repair a significant UCL tear in his pitching elbow. The initial MRI on Strasburg's arm didn't show any major damage, but an MRI arthrogram revealed the tear. He's expected to miss 12-18 months, so this will most likely wipe out his 2011 season, the Nationals will seek a second opinion before going the Tommy John route. Strasburg's rookie season ends with a 5-3 record, 2.91 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 92/17 K/BB ratio over 68 innings.
