If all goes well, Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman is expected to make his final rehab start Monday, reports MLB.com. Stroman is recovering from knee surgery, which has sidelined him all season.

"Just a lot of hard work, motivation and faith, that's basically all it took," said Stroman, who went 11-6 with a 3.65 ERA in 26 games last year. "Two-a-days six days a week for four months straight will do the job. A lot went into it, a lot of pain, but we're in the position that we sought to be, and it's exciting."
