Chicago Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta, who has missed over two weeks with a hamstring strain, should find his way back into the rotation soon. Arrieta made his last start on September 4 against the Pittsburgh Pirates and was forced to leave in the third inning when he experienced pain in his right hamstring. To the relief of the fans, the injury was not serious enough to keep him off the field for the rest of the season.
Arrieta’s return could prove to be a huge pick-me-up for an already-surging Cubs team. The right-hander threw a bullpen session on Tuesday and says he feels ready to go.
