Marcus Stroman has no plans to let a tight left hamstring rob him of his next scheduled start.
The energetic right-hander pitched just four innings Wednesday before exiting with the injury, but said he was feeling “good” Thursday and planned on moving full steam ahead with treatment to prepare him for his next turn in the rotation.
“I’m going to make that start against the Cubs on Tuesday,” Stroman said before the Mets and Indians finished their series at Citi Field.
Stroman felt a “pretty strong cramp feeling,” followed by tightness in his hamstring after covering first base on a ground ball that ended the fourth inning.
