We are one step closer to seeing Pedro Strop back in the Cubs’ bullpen, please and thank you.
Strop made his debut rehab appearance with the Iowa Cubs, and six pitches – six strikes – later, it was over as a success.
Pedro Strop gets through the 8th inning for the @IowaCubs on just six pitches. Single, double play (soft liner caught by Strop, doubled off runner at 1st), fly out. Threw just six pitches, all strikes.

Strope is feeling good, he'll have another outing Thursday and then we will re- evaluate. There are some AAA arms that you might see more of soon says #Cubs Tommy Hottovy.

The best case scenario is that Strop again feels good on Thursday, and then can return to the Cubs’ bullpen on Saturday in St. Louis.
