Adam Kilgore of Nationals Journal reports that Nats Manager Jim Riggleman said on his MLB Network Radio appearance today that Stephen Strasburg would not make his next scheduled start. The powerful right-hander was scheduled to pitch against the Phillies this weekend at Nats Park.

Kilgore writes:

"Riggleman said a trip to the disabled list remains a possibility, but said the team still plans for Strasburg to pitch again this season. After Sunday, Strasburg's next start is currently scheduled for Aug. 6 at Dodger Stadium."
