Those of you who’ve been anxiously awaiting Pedro Strop’s return for one reason or another can go ahead and exhale. The boisterous righty won’t be pissing of boomers with his cocked hat because he wasn’t able to round back into form after being released by the Reds.
Strop’s velocity had been way down from previous seasons and he was having trouble finding the plate, then he hit the IL with a groin issue and was DFA’d upon his activation. As Sahadev Sharma reported in The Athletic, any hope of Strop coming in to fill the void left by Rowan Wick’s oblique injury has now been dashed due to another injury.
