Nationals' Stephen Strasburg's career in jeopardy due to severe nerve damage.

Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg's career is in jeopardy due to "severe nerve damage," which may prevent him from ever playing again. Strasburg has a history of nerve issues and has not pitched in a game since last June. The team plans to wait and see if the nerve conditions improve, but Strasburg's age and injury history would make the cost of insuring his contract exorbitant. He has spent his entire 13-year major league career with the Nationals and was crucial to their first World Series title in 95 years in 2019.
