MLB: Stephen Strasburg is put on disabled list

Right-hander Stephen Strasburg was put on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday by the Washington Nationals.

Manager Dusty Baker said the move, retroactive to Monday, was made as a precaution.

Strasburg (10-3) left Sunday’s start after two innings because of forearm pain that doctors diagnosed as a nerve impingement.
