Nationals' Stephen Strasburg: MRI on tap for trapezius issue

Manager Dave Martinez said Strasburg will undergo an MRI after exiting Tuesday's start in Atlanta with right trapezius tightness, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

The right-hander showed decreased velocity and struggled with his command -- he threw only 14 of 30 pitches for strikes -- before being removed during the second inning of Tuesday's contest. It's yet another injury for Strasburg, who's already spent a month-plus on the injured list this season with shoulder inflammation. He gave up one run on one hit and two walks over 1.1 innings before departing.
