Stephen Strasburg injury update: Nationals RHP ruled out of NLDS image

The Washington Nationals could be without Stephen Strasburg for the entire postseason.

"Well, you won't see [Strasburg] in the first series, and I don't even know if you'll see him, you know, maybe in the second series," manager Dusty Baker said on ESPN Radio. "You might see him in the World Series."

The Nationals face the Dodgers in the NLDS beginning Friday. Max Scherzer will be matched against Clayton Kershaw in Game 1.
