Strasburg’s timetable for a return remains unknown.

Stephen Strasburg injury update: Nationals pitcher shut down again with ‘severe nerve damage,’ per report

His issues began with a case of carpal tunnel neuritis in his pitching hand in August 2020. Then came shoulder inflammation followed by a neck strain. In August 2021, Strasburg underwent surgery to address thoracic outlet syndrome, an at times baffling condition that has the potential to end pitching careers. His potential recovery was then compromised by a stress reaction in his ribcage and then, in March of this year, a recurrence of thoracic outlet syndrome. Now nerve issues have once again complicated his efforts to return to the major-league mound, and at this point it’s fair to wonder whether Strasburg will ever pitch again. Whatever the path forward, he’s owed the balance of a $35 million salary for this season, and then he’s still owed a total of $105 million from 2024 through 2026. 

Stephen Strasburg is completely shut down from physical activity again
Beyond 2023, Strasburg still has three seasons left on the seven-year, $245 million contract he signed in December 2019, not long after he was named the World Series MVP. But the Nationals do not have any disability insurance on Strasburg’s contract, according to four people familiar with the situation. The premiums would have been extremely high, two people explained, and that’s assuming the team and an insurance company could have agreed on a policy, given Strasburg’s age and extensive injury history. And three people familiar with the situation doubt ownership would have spent on top of the $245 million, even if doing so would have provided some financial protection in a worst-case scenario.

Stephen Strasburg Shut Down From All Physical Activity
Staying healthy takes prudence and skill. It is not a matter of luck. Everything from body awareness to mental health to diet play a role. Not being an a**. Just saying. Most physical ailments (many specialists would say all) have their origin in emotions. This causes psychosomatic symptoms. Every emotion manifests in the body. Anxiety is nothing but your adrenal glands at work, for instance. Suppressed emotion accumulates “stagnant” energy in certain parts of body. All psychiatry stems from that original discovery by Freud. Also posture is effected by emotion. People with low confidence often droop their shoulders forward and their chest sinks in and gets no circulation and effects breathing, for instance. So many factors go into things that we can’t possibly calculate but luck is not the culprit.

Report: Nationals’ Stephen Strasburg has ‘severe nerve damage’
The team has nothing to lose by playing the waiting game because, per the report, the Nationals are on the hook for the remaining three seasons of his contract. His age and injury history would have made the cost of insuring his contract exorbitant, provided the Nationals even could have found a company willing to provide disability insurance, the Post said.
