washington nationals2019 World Series MVP starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg will start Tuesday’s Fredericksburg Nationals game against the Salem Red Sox at Virginia Credit Union Stadium as part of a minor league rehab assignment. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m

In 246 Major League games, Strasburg holds a record of 113-61, an ERA of 3.21, and has struck out over 1,700 batters in his career.
