• MASNSports.com - Ben Goessling - The Goessling Game: "Caution the name of the game in Strasburg's return."

"Everything has checked out fine with his right shoulder; Strasburg has thrown a bullpen session and a simulated game without pain, and the Nationals say he wouldn't be on the mound at all if he was hurting."

• Nats Insider.com: Mark Zuckerman "Deja vu for Strasburg"

"It's probably going to be like this the remainder of Strasburg's rookie season. Two weeks ago, we took for granted that he'd actually pitch when listed as the Nats' starting pitcher. But then the dreaded words "shoulder tightness" became part of the local lexicon..."

• Nationals Buzz - MASNsports.com's Kristen Hudak - "Zimmerman Hosts "A Night at the Park"

"'This has been my home for the past five years. I've grown fond of this city,' Zimmerman said. "'We ultimately want to make the foundation bigger and better and the next step was to bring it to a bigger and better city. There's really not a bigger and better city in the world to do something like this than in D.C.'"
