MLB Note - Washington Nationals Strasburg, Stephen

Oct 12, 2017 - 7:45 AM RHP Stephen Strasburg will start Wednesday afternoon's Game 4 of the National League Division Series against the Chicago Cubs. Nationals manager Dusty Baker said Tuesday night that Strasburg was too ill to start Wednesday's game before the dramatic reversal by the team. The Nationals made the move official a few hours before 3:08 p.m. CT starting time. Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo told reporters Wednesday that Strasburg started to feel flu-like symptoms after starting Game 1, which continued the next couple of days. Rizzo said Strasburg experienced fever, chills and continued to feel poorly when he threw his bullpen session on Monday.
