Cubs drop finale in Milwaukee; Stroman says he'll skip ASG, while injured Swanson uncertain. McGrawDHSports Cubs
After pitching Thursday in Milwaukee, Marcus Stroman confirmed he will not play in next week's All-Star Game. Shortstop Dansby Swanson was out with a right heel contusion and his status is questionable, for both the weekend series in New York and the all-star festivities.
"It's been a lot since WBC coming into this year, made every start, which I'm thankful for," Stroman said."It's been a huge process. Very thankful for everybody who's helped me get to this point. I'm definitely looking forward to having a little bit of a break, kind of just restore my energy, clear my mind and have a good second half."
Swanson wants to play in the All-Star Game, but isn't sure about his health. He suffered the heel injury while trying to beat out a double play and was unavailable for Thursday's game. The pitch looked good on replay, but was called ball four. Stroman spread his arms wide as he looked toward the plate umpire in disbelief.
