Pedro Strop

Cubs' Pedro Strop will undergo MRI on knee Thursday

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Pedro Strop will undergo an MRI on his left knee on Thursday after he left Wednesday's game with an injury.

What It Means:

Strop injured his knee fielding a ground ball in the eighth inning, and immediately left the game. We will have a better feel for a return timeline when the MRI results are in.

Strop is having the best year of his career, posting career-bests in SIERA (2.35), strikeout rate (32.37 percent) and walk rate (7.51 percent) through 43 2/3 innings on the season.
