Stephen Strasburg To Throw Two Innings For Hagerstown On Sunday

Strasburg's first stop will be with the Nationals Low-A affiliate the Hagerstown Suns and his first confirmed rehab start with Hagerstown is Sunday. There is excitement and a tad bit of nervousness to see how the young phenom has progressed in his recovery from Tommy John surgery. 

Strasburg will be on a short, strict leash as is apparent by the following tweet from the Washington Post's Adam Kilgore and he will begin his rehab only tossing two innings Sunday:
