Washington Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg has «severe nerve damage,» leading to doubts he will ever pitch again, The Washington Post reported Saturday.

Strasburg, 34, was shut down more than a month ago, unable to take part in any rehabilitation, per the report. He had surgery to treat thoracic outlet syndrome and hasn't pitched in a game since last June.

He has a history of nerve issues. After an offseason throwing session at Nationals Park in Washington in February, he reported nerve pain in his neck and shoulder.

He missed spring training and was put on the 60-day injured list before Opening Day, and although he is eligible to come off, that isn't in the Nationals' plans.
