Stephen Strasburg is back, but not for long. The 22-year-old phenom is scheduled to return from a shoulder injury when the Washington Nationals open a three-game series against the visiting Florida Marlins on Tuesday night. Strasburg was placed on the 15-day disabled list July 29, two days after being scratched minutes before his last scheduled start. The hard-throwing right-hander, however, is expected to be limited to 90 pitches against the Marlins. He beat them July 16 by allowing four hits and striking out seven in six innings of a 4-0 win. Strasburg, who threw a side session Saturday, is also restricted to no more than 160 innings this year, and he’s logged 109 2-3 over 20 games between the Nationals and the minors.

A return to Nationals Park could help Washington rebound from Sunday’s 8-3 loss at Los Angeles, which capped a 3-4 trip. The Nationals have won four of six at home and Strasburg has been impressive in five starts there, going 2-1 with a 2.03 ERA and 46 strikeouts with only four walks in 31 innings. Florida manager Edwin Rodriguez feels aggressive at-bats could be the key to beating him. The Marlins are hoping they didn’t lose any momentum at the plate after the finale of a three-game set with St. Louis was rained out Sunday. They collected nine hits with three homers in Saturday’s 5-4, 10-inning win after hitting .206 with three homers during a five-game slide. The expected returns of first baseman Gaby Sanchez and center fielder Cody Ross could keep Florida productive.
