Chicago Cubs: Veteran former starters needed in vital bullpen situations

Bad news was confirmed Friday that Pedro Strop will miss the remainder of the regular season due to a hamstring injury. With Strop out and closer Brandon Morrow‘s return being still far from certain (despite recent optimism), there is obviously a lot of shifting to be done.

Ideal closer roles as mentioned in a previous article, could fall on the arms of Justin Wilson or Steve Cishek. While it still may be that way for the most part, it clearly will not be that way every game. Fans saw veteran Jorge De La Rosa get his first career save against the Reds Friday.
