Fantasy Analysis
Strasburg hasn't lasted more than five innings in his last two starts, posting a 5.00 ERA and .289 opponents' batting average in that span. He said Sunday the fatigue stems from building back up after missing so much time because of Tommy John surgery. Strasburg isn't injured and remains a must-start Fantasy option despite two less-than-stellar outings. He still managed eight strikeouts in five innings Sunday, so he's still productive even on off days. (Updated 05/23/2012).

Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg hit his first major league homer Sunday, connecting in the fourth inning against Baltimore left-hander Wei-Yin Chen.
Even with the distinction of being the most hyped pitcher in amateur draft history, Stephen Strasburg somehow manages to exceed expectations time and time again. Last year, the moment came in his season debut in early September, when, after missing barely a year because of Tommy John surgery, he limited the Dodgers to two hits over five shutout innings. He continued to dominate over the course of five starts, which culminated in him striking out 10 Marlins over six one-hit innings in the season finale. Safe to say he's healthy. The most encouraging part of his performance was that he issued only two walks over those five starts, avoiding the control problems often experienced by pitchers coming off Tommy John surgery. So is Strasburg ready to pick up where he left off in his rookie season, when he had a 2.91 ERA and 12.2 strikeouts per nine innings in 12 starts? The only thing holding him back is the Nationals' ultra-conservative approach to young pitchers. They've already said he'll have an innings limit similar to the one Jordan Zimmermann had last year. When the Nationals eventually loosen the reins on Strasburg, he'll be a Cy Young contender with the capacity for 250-plus strikeouts. Even with the innings limit, he's a top-25 Fantasy starting pitcher. (Updated 2/21/12)
