Stephen Strasburg suffered a knee injury during BP today according to several reports though the full extent of his injury is as of yet unknown...

Though the details are sketchy at the moment, word out of Arizona is that the Washington Nationals' '09 No.1 overall pick pitcher Stephen Strasburg has suffered a knee injury that will keep him out of Saturday's AFL Championship game. Washington Post writer Dave Sheinin, in a Nationals Journal post entitled, "Strasburg hurts knee, out of Saturday's AFL title game", reports that Strasburg, "...stepped awkwardly while shagging flies in the outfield, heard a pop, and crumpled to the ground."

Washington Times' writer Ben Goessling writes, in a Chatter post entitled, "Strasburg out again", that, "An MRI showed inflammation on his left knee, but the team said the injury is not considered serious." According to MLB.com's Bill Ladson, Strasburg will fly back to Washington, DC to have the knee examined by, "Nationals medical director Dr. Wiemi Douoguih."

I'm just going to remain positive until there's a more detailed report...

Yea I was pleased with the 'injury is not serious'

It’s quite clear that if SS has a runny nose – they’ll get an MRI to see if its ok…

Me too (although you already knew that).

He’s an excellent writer who took, in my opinion, a wonderfully approach to his stories. But it’s clear that doing the beat job for a few years must be exhausting…

After a week long trip to Arizona, I would not have wanted to hop a plane to LA, SF and then back to DC...

How the players can do it and perform is beyond me, I was too tired to string run-on sentences together…(artfully?)
