Nationals' Stephen Strasburg lands on injured list with shoulder issue after low-velocity outing

The Washington Nationals placed right-handed starter Stephen Strasburg on the 10-day injured list, with right shoulder inflammation on Sunday. The Strasburg move is retroactive to Thursday, which would mean Strasburg is eligible to return from the IL by April 25. Right-hander Paolo Espino will start in his place for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. If Strasburg ends up missing extended time with shoulder trouble, right-hander Erick Fedde appears to be the most likely to file in as the clubs' fifth starter.
