Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg is dealing with a strained flexor mass in his right elbow but his UCL is intact, trainer Paul Lessard said Thursday.?Strasburg had an MRI on the elbow earlier Thursday, one day after leaving a start in the third inning.?Lessard said the injury is not necessarily season-ending but offered no timetable for Strasburgs return.?Im thinking lets take care of the swelling and get him to a pain-free range of motion, and then well start a strengthening program, Lessard said. Im just worried about the next four or five days right now.?Strasburg felt a pinch in the back of his elbow Wednesday night, and was forced to make an early exit in his first start since returning from the disabled list.?Unfortunately, it just happened on one pitch, Lessard said. Its just an acute injury vs. an overuse injury.Strasburg previously had been out since Aug. 17 because of soreness in his right elbow. He left Wednesdays start after 2 1/3 innings and 42 pitches, allowing a run on two hits, before NL East-leading Washington went on to defeat Atlanta 5-4 in 11 innings.Before going on the disabled list, Strasburg allowed 19 runs over his final three starts, including nine over 1 2/3 innings in a loss to Colorado his last time out. In his first 17 starts, he was 13-0 with a 2.51 ERA.It was Strasburgs second stint on the disabled list this season. The right-hander missed 17 games in June with an upper back strain.After he exited Wednesday, fears were that Strasburg would need a second Tommy John surgery after having the procedure in 2010.?Its good to hear it wasnt what everybody was speculating, manager Dusty Baker said Thursday.Waiting on news is always nerve-racking. You should have been with me waiting on news that I had cancer ... toughest part of my cancer was the three-month checkup, six-month checkup. Waiting on news is not very pleasant.Strasburg signed a seven-year extension worth $175 million in May. He had an MRI before inking that deal, and Lessard said Thursday that Strasburgs elbow looks basically the same as it did then.?The Nationals entered Thursday night with an 8?-game lead over the Mets in the NL East.?Asked who will take Strasburgs spot in the rotation, Baker said the team hadnt decided yet.We have the personnel that we have, he said. You cant count on somebody else coming in here. So we have to the best for the situation with what we have and then make a determination on who is to take his place now and possibly later or is it a better option to not have Stephen or do we not count Stephen out? Those are our options, and the Lord knows and can heal Stephen with the help of our trainers and doctors.Information from ESPNs Eddie Matz and The Associated Press was used in this report.

Subban hasnt even taken the ice yet in his new Predators sweater, yet the defenseman keeps hearing the same thing over and over.No, hes not being asked about winning the Stanley Cup even though his acquisition has raised expectations higher in Nashville than theyve ever been.Hes being showered with southern hospitality.Welcome to Nashville, Subban said with a grin. I love that everybody heres so nice. Its almost like theyre too nice. Its impossible to not feel comfortable in this city. So Ive been here for six or seven days, it feels like Ive been here for six or seven years. The people are just extremely nice, and I cant wait for my family to get down here and have the same feeling that I have.The Predators reported for training camp Thursday with Subban the big attraction as the man Nashville swapped captain Shea Weber to Montreal on June 29 in one of the NHLs biggest trades in recent years. The NHL Network and TSN both were represented along with media from Montreal, doubling the number of reporters usually on hand.Nashville lost in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs to San Jose in seven games. General manager David Poile said the Predators know theyve changed their chemistry with the move.We hope its for the better, but we dont know yet, Poile said.

Forward Ryan Johansen came to Nashville in January in a deal that sent defenseman Seth Jones to Columbus. Johansen scored 34 points in 42 games with Nashville and posted a plus-10 rating. Poile said Johansen, who turned 24 in July, is bigger and stronger after a good offseason. He certainly should be in a situation where he could be a guuy that could put up more points on the board and get more goals, which everyone is looking for, Poile said.ddddddddddddMISSING FOR WORLD CUP OF HOCKEY: Four Predators are not in Nashville for the start of training camp. Defenseman Mattias Ekholm and forward Filip Forsberg are playing with Sweden, while defenseman Roman Josi is playing with Team Europe. Goaltender Pekka Rinne is with Finland, while assistant coach Phil Housley is with Team USA.DEFENSEMEN PAIRINGS: The Predators announced Ryan Ellis will not be skating over the opening days with an upper body injury that will be re-evaluated after a double-header with Florida on Tuesday. With Ekholm and Josi at the World Cup, that leaves more skating time for some of Nashvilles new defensemen like veteran Matt Carle, Yannick Weber and Matt Irwin. Anthony Bitetto and Petter Granberg got playing time last season. Poile said the third defense pairing and the spot as the seventh defenseman is wide open.RINNES BACKUP: With Carter Hutton signing with St. Louis, that leaves the Predators looking for a new goalie to back up Rinne. Marek Mazanec has more NHL experience having played 27 games with the Predators between 2013-14 and 2014-15, and hes older at the age of 25. Juuse Saros, 21, played one game with Nashville last season. The Predators need one of the goalies to show they deserve to stay in Nashville.YOUNGSTERS: As young as the Predators have been over the past couple seasons, a couple forwards have a chance to push for a roster spot in training camp in Mike Liambas and Kevin Fiala. Now 20, Fiala played five games with the Predators last season, and the 20-year-old left wing impressed during the teams rookie camp. ' ' '
