Nationals manager Davey Johnson said after Monday's 3-2 loss to the Braves that starter Stephen Strasburg dealt with forearm tightness during the outing.

Strasburg will be examined by team doctors before the club decides his status for his next start, which is scheduled for Saturday against the Pirates.

The right-hander is 1-4 with a 3.13 ERA through six starts. He also has 36 strikeouts in 39 1/3 innings pitched.
