Pedro Strop News
The Chicago Cubs have brought back relief pitcher Pedro Strop on a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. Strip, 35, started last season with the Reds and only pitched in four games due to injuries and was eventually released and picked up by the Cubs. He didn't make any appearances for the Cubs in his second go around with the club, but he has spent the bulk of his career with them. Strop will look to earn a spot in the Cubs bullpen and should be avoided by fantasy managers for now.
The Cincinnati Reds have activated and designated Pedro Strop (groin) for assignment. Its a bit of a surprise as Strop was an attractive free-agent pickup this offseason and only threw 2 1/3 innings for his new club and allowed one run with one strikeout and four walks over that span. The former Cub is likely to find a new home quickly, but doesnt hold too much value at the moment with his most value coming as someone who can help with holds depending where he ends up.
The Cincinnati Reds are close to getting a pair of right-handed relievers back as Pedro Strop and Robert Stephenson both faced batters Wednesday at the teams alternate site with another session scheduled for Friday. Strop has been sidelined due to a groin ailment since Aug. 7, while Stephenson has been out of the mix since July 25. While Raisel Iglesias has a stronghold on the closers gig in Cincinnati, Strop and Stephenson are both candidates for holds and the top right-handed setup role with Michael Lorenzens early season struggles. Check back for an update on when either is officially activated.
