Matt Strahm Stats

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Matt Strahm (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. He has been banged up all season long, but did serve as the opener on Tuesday. Veteran right-hander Jake Arrieta will take over his spot in the rotation and make the start against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. This is not a favorable matchup for Arrieta who has 6.88 ERA in 20 starts with the Chicago Cubs. Fantasy managers can stay far away from Arrieta right now.

San Diego Padres reliever Matt Strahm (knee) is expected to be activated from the IL before Tuesday's tilt with the Oakland Athletics. After undergoing offseason knee surgery, the left-hander had fanned seven over 3 frames in a rehab assignment at Triple-A. With a starting rotation in flux, Strahm's return will bolster the Friars pitching depth and he should assume various roles in high leverage and long relief. The 29-year-old has been a stalwart for the Friars the past three seasons, appearing in 106 games while registering a 3.66 ERA and 9.2 K/9. He's a flyer pickup in holds formats for ratio support and a handful of rogue victories, but isn't a fantasy option in standard leagues.

San Diego Padres reliever Matt Strahm (knee) is expected back by the end of this month. Recovering from offseason right knee surgery, the 29-year-old southpaw has been throwing in simulated games and his return would certainly bolster a beaten Friars pitching staff. Strahm has been an anchor in the bullpen the past three seasons, appearing in 106 games with a 3.66 ERA and 9.2 K/9. Strahm's rehab has minimal fantasy implications, but he could pick up some rogue wins supporting a rotation that's had issues going deep into games.
