Nov. 19, 2009 - 9:45 PM ET

The Nationals have officially scratched Stephen Strasburg (knee) from his final scheduled start in the Arizona Fall League.

Strasburg was injured while shagging fly balls Thursday afternoon. He was then taken to a local hospital for X-rays, which revealed some inflammation in his left knee. The Nats released a statement terming it an issue that is "not considered serious," so he should be fine to continue his offseason regimen once the inflammation clears. He'll be good by the start of spring training.
