Stephen Strasburg will rebuild his arm strength, remaining in Viera with the Nationals’ rehab coordinators once the team heads north for the season. Around mid-August, he is expected to begin minor league rehab appearances. There is a chance he could reappear in the majors for one or two starts in the season’s waning days, but most likely he’ll throw his next major league pitch in 2012. As he bides his time, Strasburg has enhanced the rest of his body. Shortly after the new year, he called Nationals pitching coach Steve McCatty and told him, “I’m in the best shape of my life.” He bet McCatty that, when he arrived at spring training, he would have a six-pack of abdominal muscles. — Washington Post
