Washington Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg was removed from Sunday's game in Arizona after only two innings after he experienced some stiffness in his throwing arm. Manager Dusty Baker said the 29-year-old right-hander was taken out as a precaution and would be evaluated by team doctors Tuesday after the Nationals return to Washington.
