[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] After Stephen Strasburg signed a 7-year $245 million (approximately NT$7.41 billion) sky-high contract with the Nationals in 2019, he has been plagued by injuries. Today, the Nationals put him in 60-day wounded list, return date undecided.

The 34-year-old Streisberger helped the Nationals win the championship and won the World Series MVP in 2019. After signing this seven-year contract with the Nationals, he was also the largest pitcher at the time. Right wrist tunnel neuritis was reimbursed after only 2 games. The following year, he underwent surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. In the past two seasons, he only played 6 games in total.

Streisberger, who is expected to return this season, was injured again in spring training this year. The Nationals put him on the 60-day disabled list earlier. Manager Mike Rizzo said helplessly that the ace in charge is currently shutting down and resting. He also had no intention of appearing in the opening game, "He didn't want the celebration of the opening game to distract him."

"Associated Press" said in the report, "It is unclear when, or even if, Strasberg will pitch in the major leagues again." It implies that if a generation of strong pitchers continues to be plagued by injuries, it is not impossible to end their careers sadly.
