Stroman (0-1) allowed five runs on six hits across four innings to take the loss Friday against the Rockies. He walked one and struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

As is the case with many pitchers, Stroman struggled to find his footing at Coors Field. The righty actually looked good through three innings, but the Rockies tallied five runs on four hits and a walk in the fourth inning. The big blow was a three-run home run by Alan Trejo. The tough outing pushed Stroman's season ERA to 6.00, though better days should be ahead. He lines up to face the Rays on Wednesday in his next scheduled start.

Stroman allowed a run on two hits and three walks while striking out three in five innings during Sunday's loss to the Brewers. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Despite throwing just 42 of his 79 pitches for strikes, Stroman was sharp during his team debut. He was unable to pick up the win since the Cubs' bullpen surrendered the 3-1 lead following his departure, but his debut was certainly encouraging. The right-hander has shown improvement in each of his last two seasons, most recently posting a 3.02 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 179 innings during 33 starts with the Mets last year. Stroman tentatively lines up to make his next start at hitter-friendly Coors Field against the Rockies on Friday.

With Kyle Hendricks being named the Opening Day starter, per Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network, Stroman should work as the Cubs' No. 2 starter.

EDGE Analysis

This is how the two pitchers have operated in spring training, so this alignment for the regular season is not surprising. Even if Hendricks is technically the No. 1 starter, Stroman may end up being the better fantasy asset based on his stronger numbers from a season ago.

Stroman gave up two runs on three hits across two innings in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Athletics. He walked two and struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Stroman wasn't as sharp as he was in his first start of the spring Friday, when he logged two perfect innings with three strikeouts. The numbers don't matter much at this point, of course, as the righty is simply trying to gear up for the regular season. He figures to be a strong fantasy asset in his first year with the Cubs.

Stroman pitched two perfect innings in Friday's Cactus League game against the Giants. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Stroman wasn't expected to pitch deep into the game in his spring training debut, but he looked very sharp while he was on the mound. The Cubs' big offseason addition should slot in behind Kyle Hendricks in the rotation this year. Stroman was good in 2021 with the Mets, posting a 3.02 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 179 innings, and should be a solid fantasy contributor in 2022.

Stroman will make his spring training debut Friday against the Giants, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stroman joined the Cubs in the offseason and will look to make a strong first impression with his new club. Kyle Hendricks will make his spring debut a day earlier, so perhaps that will be the order heading into the regular season. Either way, Stroman will be expected to be a key contributor in the rotation. After not pitching in the shortened 2020 season, the righty registered a solid 3.02 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 179 innings with the Mets last year.

Stroman signed a contract with the Cubs on Wednesday, he confirmed on his personal Twitter account. It's a three-year, $71 million deal that includes an opt out after the second season, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.com.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old righty logged a 3.02 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 50.8 percent groundball rate in 179 innings last season. He didn't pitch in 2020, but he has logged 32 or more starts in four of the last five seasons he has pitched. Stroman has never struck out more than 166 batters in a season, as he thrives on generating weak contact, and he is generally good at logging bulk innings and preventing runs.

Stroman improved to 10-13 after tossing five innings and giving up two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four Tuesday in the Mets' 5-2 win in the first game of a doubleheader with the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Making his MLB-leading 33rd start of the season, Stroman cruised through the first three frames before enduring some turbulence in the top of the fourth. After following up a leadoff walk by allowing a home run to Lewin Diaz, Stroman retired three of the next four batters to limit the damage that inning. The New York bullpen then held down the fort for the final two frames of the seven-inning game, after Stroman departed with a 3-2 lead. Manager Luis Rojas hasn't indicated that Stroman will be shut down following Tuesday's outing, so the right-hander could make one last start in the Mets' season finale Sunday in Atlanta.

Stroman (9-13) allowed four earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three across five innings to take the loss Tuesday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Stroman held Boston scoreless through three innings, however he allowed consecutive doubles which resulted in one run in the fourth frame. One inning later, he surrendered two homers in the span of three batters to ruin his outing. Stroman hadn't allowed a home run in his last five starts entering Tuesday, and he had maintained a 3.07 ERA and 1.09 WHIP across 29.1 innings in that span.

Stroman pitched six innings, giving up two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out eight in Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old was able to limit the damage to two runs in the fourth inning of this one. It was his fifth quality start in his last six outings and he has compiled a 3.22 ERA and 1.07 WHIP over 36.1 innings in that span. He lines up to face the Red Sox next week.
