Washington Nationals rookie pitcher Stephen Strasburg underwent surgery to replace a torn elbow ligament yesterday, an operation that will sideline him through next season.

“He had his surgery,” Nationals General Manager Mike Rizzo said, according to MLB.com. “I got a call from (the surgeons) and they said it was successful surgery, he came through it with flying colors.”
