Strasburg Expected To Make Next Start

May 02, 2013 12:13 PM EST

Stephen Strasburg is expected to make his next start after experiencing no pain during a bullpen session Wednesday before the Nationals played the Braves.

Strasburg had some discomfort in his arm during a start Monday night. While manager Davey Johnson initially was concerned, it appears Strasburg had nothing more than an irritated nerve from using an electrical stimulation machine.

"He had a great bullpen," Johnson said. "Didn't have any discomfort."
