Pedro Strop (back) is expected to be activated from the disabled list on Saturday. The fire-balling right-hander struggled through his first 17 2/3 innings before being placed on the disabled list, compiling a 6.11 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 17/14 K/BB ratio. He'll likely return as the third option for saves in the O's bullpen behind Jim Johnson and Darren O'Day.
