They said Stephen Strasburg wouldn’t pitch for the Washington Nationals in 2011, because his right elbow was reconstructed in 2010.

Strasburg has now pitched for the Nationals in 2011, and the rains held off long enough Tuesday night for Strasburg to start against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Slightly more than a year ago — the 21st of August, to be precise — Strasburg threw his last pitch in the majors before Tuesday night. Also slightly more than one year ago — the 3rd of September, to be precise — Dr. Lewis Yocum removed a ligament from Strasburg’s left leg and transplanted said ligament into Strasburg’s right elbow.
