Strasburg (elbow) threw a bullpen session Friday for the first time since injuring his elbow, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.
This is great news for the Nationals, as the stud pitcher has been sidelined since the beginning of September due to this ailment. Strasburg likely won't be able to pitch in the NLDS, but if his bullpen sessions continue to go well, he could return in a limited capacity for the NLCS and/or the World Series if the Nationals were to advance that far.
