We were just talking about the offseason and, ironically enough, going fishing and stuff like that. -- Houston pitcher Lance McCullers.---Its so horribly sad on so many different levels that therell be no more of that, no more of him, therell be no more of that emotion on the mound, that skill set, that human being, that young man with such a gift, such a great smile. -- Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle.---The baseball family has suffered a loss.

We just talked at the field. -- Yankees catcher Brian McCann, who got into a dustup at home plate after Fernandez hit his first big league home run in 2013.---It was probably that year at the New York sports writers dinner, he won Rookie of the Year.

I just remember watching that and thought it was pretty cool. -- Cleveland manager Terry Francona.---When the first pitch left his hand, the first thought is, `Oh, wow, this is something special. ...

Fernandez was scheduled to start Monday night at home vs. the Mets.---He had Hall of Fame-level talent. It felt like Jose could last a long time, be a part of that for a long time, be the face of the Marlins a long time. -- Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell.---When I think about Josie, its going to be thinking about a little kid. ...

WASHINGTON -- Washington Nationals star Stephen Strasburg?says he isnt sure whether he will pitch again this season.Strasburg, 28, left Wednesdays start in the third inning. Tests determined he has a strained flexor mass in his right elbow and the injury is not related to his ligament, which needed Tommy John surgery five years ago.I cant make that claim, Strasburg said about a 2016 return. Theres still pretty much a month left in the season. Im just trying to get back healthy. Hopefully, were still playing baseball.Strasburg received his first platelet rich plasma injection Friday, a procedure in which his blood was drawn, platelets separated in a centrifuge and activated platelets injected back into the injured area to assist healing.I think the biggest thing is just seeing how it feels four, five days from now, Strasburg said, then start progressing with a little bit more treatment and strengthening up the forearm and getting into some sort of throwing program.Strasburg started the season 13-0 with a 2.51 ERA. He allowed 19 earned runs in 11? innings in three outings before going on the disabled list, then lasted just 2? innings in his return.Unfortunately this hass happened to me so many times that its just like, I can just sit here and let it eat at me, which Ive done in the past and it doesnt make it any better, so its the cards that Ive been dealt, he said.dddddddddddd Im just trying to stay positive and learn from it and work even harder.In Wednesdays start against Philadelphia, Strasburg felt a pinch in the back of his elbow that wouldnt go away.It was a little alarming to me, he said. Even when I went out there for the third, it felt more like the seventh or eighth inning, which was kind of odd. I just tried to get it out and then felt something on a pitch and it didnt really go away. It just kind of stayed there. Thats when I knew it probably wouldnt be a good idea to try to throw through it.Still, there was relief when tests determined his ulnar collateral ligament was not damaged.It was about as good of news as you can get, he said. So, Im just trying to take it one day at a time now and do everything I can to get out there, not only as fast as possible but feeling right at the same time. ' ' '
