2019 World Series MVP Stephen Strasburg might be DONE for the season … and the team says it’s all ’cause of an ailment you get from typing too much!!!
Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Friday the ace could have season-ending surgery due to carpal tunnel syndrome — a nerve issue in the wrist.
Of course, the injury is commonly brought on by people who spend too many hours at a keyboard … but Strasburg clearly got it from hurling curveballs and 95 mph fastballs.
Strasburg had complained of tingling and numbness in his hand prior to taking the bump this season … and ultimately went on the IL last week over the injury after only starting 2 games.
Martinez says the 32-year-old saw a hand specialist this week … and the Nats got the bad news Friday.
It’s a huge blow to the team … Stras was arguably the biggest reason the Nats won the World Series last season — and not having him for a postseason run could spell an early exit.
Tough break … but, hey, at least the year’s almost over already?
