MESA, Ariz. -- Chicago Cubs reliever Pedro Strop has returned to training camp after he was kept away for a couple days for violating baseball's COVID-19 protocols.
The team said Sunday that Strop was being kept away from his teammates, and that Major League Baseball was going to decide when he was allowed to rejoin the team. The team confirmed Strop's return on Tuesday.
The 35-year-old Strop is in camp on a minor league deal. He is trying to make it back to the majors after a tough season last year.
The veteran right-hander signed a $1,825,000, one-year deal with Cincinnati after the 2019 season.
