Report: Cubs Placing Pedro Strop on IL, Recalling RHP Duane Underwood Jr

According to David Kaplan, the Cubs will be placing Pedro Strop on the injured list and will recall righty Duane Underwood Jr. to take his place on the roster. Underwood made his MLB debut in LA last season as a spot starter, but he’s excelled this season since being moved to the bullpen on a full-time basis.

The Cubs are recalling right handed pitcher Duane Underwood from Class AAA Iowa. Pedro Strop is headed to the injured list.

Strop has not seemed like himself throughout the season and had previously spent time on the IL with hamstring issues.
