Syracuse Mets News Release


The Syracuse Chiefs are pleased to announce that Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg will continue his Major-League rehab assignment with the Chiefs on Monday, August 3rd, against the Pawtucket Red Sox at 7:05 p.m. at NBT Bank Stadium. Strasburg is currently working his way back from the Nationals' Disabled List for the second time this season after suffering an oblique injury on July 4th.

Strasburg made his first Syracuse appearance since 2011 on Wednesday night against Buffalo. He threw four innings, allowing four hits and three earned runs, while walking one and striking out five. Strasburg tossed 64 pitches, of which 44 were strikes.

2015 marks Strasburg's third year with the Chiefs. He started six games in 2010, posting a 1.08 ERA as the then-top-rated pitching prospect in the Nationals system. Strasburg also started one game in 2011 on a Major-League rehab assignment while recovering from Tommy John surgery.
