The Washington Nationals will place Stephen Strasburg on the 10-day disabled list after an MRI confirmed that the right-hander has inflammation in his pitching shoulder, manager Dave Martinez said Saturday.

The MRI did not show any structural damage.

Martinez did not say how long Strasburg will be sidelined.

Strasburg, 6-6 with a 3.46 ERA in 13 starts this season, left the Nationals’ 9-5 loss to the San Francisco Giants after two innings Friday due to tightness in his shoulder.

Strasburg threw 35 pitches, allowing three runs on five hits, including a homer and two doubles, with two strikeouts before leaving. It was his first time this season pitching fewer than five innings.
