Nationals' Stephen Strasburg to undergo MRI after experiencing reduced velocity vs. Braves

Washington Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg will undergo an MRI on Wednesday after departing from his Tuesday start against the Atlanta Braves in the second inning. Strasburg technically exited after being struck by a comebacker, but the real area of concern was his reduced velocity caused by a tight trapezius, according to Maria Torres of The Athletic.
