Cubs right-hander Marcus Stroman’s bullpen Monday at the team’s Arizona Complex seems to have gone off without a hitch.
“It was clean,” manager David Ross said. “No real issues. “He’ll throw another one soon.”
The team will evaluate how Stroman (fractured rib cartilage) recovers Tuesday and discuss next steps. But Ross cautioned against raising expectations too high.
“He’s got to build up a pretty good pitch count, start facing hitters, maybe throw some live [batting practice],” Ross said.
