Pedro Strop, Robert Stephenson Readying For Return
Pedro Strop and Robert Stephenson both faced batters Wednesday at the team’s alternate site with another session scheduled for Friday. Strop has been sidelined due to a groin ailment since Aug. 7, while Stephenson has been out of the mix since July 25. While Raisel Iglesias has a stronghold on the closer’s gig in Cincinnati, Strop and Stephenson are both candidates for holds and the top right-handed setup role with Michael Lorenzen’s early season struggles. Check back for an update on when either is officially activated.
