Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Marcus Stroman talked about his rib cartilage fracture Friday. 'I don’t have any answers as far as how I got it,” he said during the Cubs' 4-3 loss to the Kansas City Royals.
Cubs starting pitcher Marcus Stroman adjusts his cap after giving up a two-run single to White Sox designated hitter Eloy Jiménez on July 26 at Guaranteed Rate Field.The schedule is working against Stroman and any hopes the Chicago Cubs right-hander will get back on the mound in the near future. Stroman on Friday spoke for the first time since the Cubs announced his right rib cartilage fracture diagnosis Tuesday. He has been prescribed rest and can’t be too active as he heals.
Stroman said he felt a little crampy feeling during his bullpen Sunday in Toronto. Afterward, he took ground balls as he often does pregame, joining in at second base alongside Christopher Morel and Patrick Wisdom, who were getting grounders at third and first base, respectively. Stroman threw a couple balls to Wisdom during the group’s infield work.
Stroman said he went straight to an emergency room once the flight landed in Chicago to rule out his gallbladder or an appendicitis. When he woke up Monday morning, he had an MRI, which revealed the rib cartilage fracture.“I’m still trying to process it, honestly.”
