Pedro Strop picked up his third relief win of the season in Sunday's comeback victory over the Athletics.
It has been a memorable eight days for Strop, who has collected two wins and two saves since April 22. This time he got into a little trouble after putting two men on base with one out in the ninth inning, but was able to keep Oakland scoreless before Baltimore posted five runs in the bottom half of the frame to win it.

Pedro Strop - R - Orioles

Pedro Strop notched a save in the absence of Jim Johnson for the second straight night in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Blue Jays.

O's manager Buck Showalter has (wisely) opted to go with Strop over Kevin Gregg in the ninth inning while doctors try to figure out what's sidelining Johnson. He's a solid add if you're in search of cheap saves, but he could return to a setup role as soon as the weekend.

Pedro Strop - R - Orioles

Pedro Strop has moved into the primary setup role for the Orioles.

Strop was claimed off waivers from the Rangers at the beginning of the month and has yet to allow a run in 8 2/3 innings with the O's, sporting an 11/2 K/BB ratio over that time. "I feel comfortable because they are giving me the confidence," Strop said. "They are trusting me, and so that’s why I feel comfortable. If they are trusting in me, I have to trust in myself." With the Orioles having an unsettled ninth inning situation for the future, it's possible the hard-thrower could eventually get a look at closer.

Orioles claimed RHP Pedro Strop off waivers from the Rangers.

Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun reports that the Orioles received cash from the Rangers in Wednesday's Mike Gonzalez deal and used it to claim Strop. The 26-year-old right-hander has a 3.59 ERA and 55/24 K/BB ratio over 47 2/3 innings at the Triple-A level this season. He throws in the mid-90s and could become and could have a future in the O's bullpen.

Pedro Strop - R - Orioles

The Rangers have informed right-handers Pedro Strop and Mark Lowe that they will be on the Opening Day roster.

The Rangers had a need for another bullpen arm with Alexi Ogando moving into the rotation, so Strop gets the call. The 25-year-old righty has been knocked around in limited opportunities at the major league level, but has posted big strikeout rates in the minors.

Rangers recalled RHP Pedro Strop from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Strop has had some great strikeout rates, but has struggled to harness his wildness in the upper levels of the minor leagues and in the majors. He'll help in low-leverage innings in the bullpen and remains irrelevant in most fantasy leagues.

Pedro Strop - R - Orioles

Rangers optioned RHP Pedro Strop to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Strop has been up and down a number of times over the last month because of overuse in the Rangers pen, injuries in the rotation, and simple roster math. This time he heads back to Oklahoma City to make room for Tommy Hunter, who will start in place of the injured Derek Holland. Strop has made one appearance for the Rangers and 17 for Oklahoma City.
