Washington Nationals' Stephen Strasburg To Start In Hagerstown On Wednesday.

along as we wait to hear about the Nats' unsigned 2011 Draft picks.There was a note on thejust made it officialwill return to  Suns for start number three of his rehab from Tommy John surgery on Wednesday afternoon when the Nats' Class-A affiliate takes on the Lexington Legends,Class-A affiliate in Hagerstown, Maryland's Municipal Stadium. In two starts so far, the 23-year-old right-hander has thrown 64 pitches, 51 of them strikes, allowing five hits and 1 ER in 4.2 IP in which he's struck out nine without allowing a walk...
 the Nats' plan for the '09 no.1 overall pick, "if his rehab goes perfectly without any setbacks or hiccups," is to have the right-hander, "... pitch 50 or so innings this year professionally to build afoundation for him to take into Spring Training and build on for next year. Just asdid last year, he had [70.2] innings built into him for his foundation to pitch 160.0 innings this year." Where he pitches will be dictated more by which of the affiliates are playing home games for now. According toseveral Strasburg will be bumped up to 4.0 innings or 60 pitches this time out. Still to come this year,hopefully, barring any setbacks, or hiccups, his return to the mound
