    As expected, the Washington Nationals put rookie pitcher Stephen Strasburg back on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday with a strained flexor tendon and there is concern in some corners of the organization that Strasburg has suffered a more serious elbow injury.

    He is scheduled for another test this week on his strained right forearm.

    Strasburg was on the disabled list earlier this month with tightness in his right shoulder. This is his first season in the majors after being the overall No. 1 pick in the 2009 draft.

    The Nationals aren't sure when he will pitch again. He will undergo a magnetic resonance imaging arthrogram, where dye is injected into the arm to show contrast, on Thursday.
