'Stropy wouldn't expect anything less from us': Who steps up in the bullpen now?

It was a little easier to answer the 9th inning question when Brandon Morrow hit the disabled list, but now that Pedro Strop is done for the rest of the regular season, things get a little murkier.

"We definitely have guys that are capable," Joe Maddon said prior to Friday's game. "[Justin] Wilson’s done it, [Steve] Cishek’s done it, [Jesse] Chavez has already done it with us. I think Carl [Edwards] is still eligible and capable to do those kind of things."

Prior to his mid-July injury, Morrow had notched 22 saves, and then Strop had 13 of his own.
