Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg will likely be placed on the disabled list Monday due to a sore throwing arm, according to reports.
Strasburg will be placed on the 15-day DL because of a strained flexor tendon in his right forearm.
The team may not make the move until Thursday, when the phenom was originally scheduled to make his next start.
Strasburg hurt his forearm on Saturday in an 8-1 Nationals victory over the Phillies. During the fifth inning, Strasburg was seen grimacing after throwing a pitch to Dominic Brown.
During that game, Strasburg pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing one run on two hits, striking out six batters and walking none. He threw 56 pitches, including 38 strikes.
In 12 starts and 68 innings this season, Strasburg, the No. 1 pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, is 5-3 with a 2.91 ERA, having struck out 92 batters and walked 17.
