Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo told The Washington Post Tuesday starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg will make his next start Saturday against the Pirates despite battling forearm tightness Monday against the Braves.
Rizzo said Strasburg's arm is "structurally perfect" and he merely felt "irritation in his forearm." Rizzo added Strasburg's irritation might have been caused by normal pregame use of electrical stimulation on the forearm.
