The Washington Nationals will see their long-time ace Stephen Strasburg make his long-awaited return to the mound on Thursday when the Nationals take on the Miami Marlins, manager Dave Martinez announced on Tuesday (h/t CBS Sports).
Strasburg has been out for over a year following surgery to repair thoracic outlet syndrome.
Washington signed Strasburg to a seven-year, $245 million contract following their World Series title run in 2019, where Strasburg put on an impressive performance that won him the World Series MVP.
Strasburg is returning “without limitations”.
