Stephen Strasburg, by spending any significant time on the DL, would be putting a pinch on his 2011 campaign. The Nationals, [Jim] Riggleman said, will not be motivated to pitch Strasburg in order to raise his potential innings limit for next season. Strasburg will be capped at 160 total innings this season, a 20 percent increase from last year's total. The Nationals will make the same rate of increase for next season. So if Strasburg only throws a handful of innings, the Nationals will have to shut him down in the middle of next season.
