Stephen Strasburg’s Knee Injury Will Not Require Surgery
by Pat Lackey Filed under: Nationals , NL East , Prospects The Nationals learned Friday that the knee injury suffered by Stephen Strasburg will not require surgery to repair . It’s instead been diagnosed as a dislocated knee cap. As painful as that sounds, there’s no ligament damage and the Nats’ phenom will only require rest and some rehab to get the knee back up to full strength, though he’ll still miss Saturday’s Arizona Fall League championship game. Considering those that witnessed the injury firsthand saw Strasburg crumple while playing long toss on Thursday and reported hearing a popping sound (often a telltale sign of ligament damage), this is obviously great news for the Nats. I can’t even fathom following up a 103-loss season with a serious knee injury to the highest-paid draft pick in baseball history.
