Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who has an ingrown toenail, will make his start Thursday in a minor-league game, manager Matt Williams said Wednesday. A.J. Cole will start in place of Strasburg in Thursday's spring game against the Mets.
"He's a little bit sore moving around, running around," Williams said, per MLB.com. "He's perfectly fine."
Strasburg allowed two runs on three hits and two walks in 1 2/3 innings in his spring debut last week against the Cardinals. He struck out two.
