Cubs notes: Hendricks ready to join minor-league team; Stroman hits career milestone. McGrawDHSports Cubs
After throwing 3 innings in an extended spring training game Saturday, Kyle Hendricks is ready to join one of the Cubs' minor league teams to begin a rehab assignment.
The Triple A Iowa Cubs have been dealing with some tough weather with road trips in St. Paul and Buffalo, so an assignment with Double A Tennessee might be a better option. Stroman hits 1K: Marcus Stroman recorded his 1,000th career strikeout in the third inning against Dodgers slugger Freddie Freeman. The Cubs quickly acknowledged the milestone on the scoreboard and umpires showed some mercy with the pitch clock, letting Stroman thank fans for an ovation.
"Pretty awesome to get it against Freddie, who's an awesome hitter, and the Dodgers, pitching against Kershaw on a Sunday. Just very thankful for the moment and appreciative of it all."
