Stephen Strasburg came out of the bullpen to pitch three shutout innings in Tuesday's National League Wild Card Game, but could still take the mound soon.

It's possible Strasburg will pitch for the Washington Nationals in Game 2 of the NLDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday.

"Obviously, Stephen threw the ball well yesterday for us," Davey Martinez said. "We have other options. So we'll see how it transpires over the next day. We would have to see.

"Obviously, it's going to be a quick turnaround. I would just want to give him a day to recoup. We just got off a flight, so want to see how he feels."

Strasburg is in the third year of his seven-year, $175 million deal with the Nationals.
