Matt Strahm Stats

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Matt Strahm is expected to have a multi-inning role to begin the season. The left-hander signed a two-year, $15 million deal with the Phillies over the offseason. It sounds like the team is going their value out of Strahm by making him a multiple inning option. Manager Rob Thompson mentioned he wants Strahm to be built up to three innings by the end of spring training. There won't be a ton of fantasy value here considering Strahm probably won't be starting or closing in Philly. There could be spot starts mixed in, but that would likely be the only time that Strahm is only to have fantasy value in Philly.

The Philadelphia Phillies officially signed free-agent left-hander Matt Strahm to a two-year deal on Friday, according to president of baseball operations David Dombrowski. Strahm will make $15 million on the two-year deal. The 31-year-old southpaw reliever will make an improving Phillies bullpen better in 2023. He posted a 3.83 ERA (3.72 FIP), a 1.23 WHIP, his first four career saves and 52 strikeouts in 44 2/3 relief innings over 50 appearances for the Boston Red Sox last season. Strahm could have some appeal in holds leagues as a setup man in Philadelphia, but he's unlikely to see many save chances, if any at all over the course of the season. Strahm has a career 3.81 ERA (4.03 FIP), a 1.21 WHIP and a 25.3 percent strikeout rate in seven big-league seasons.

The Boston Red Sox reinstated left-hander Matt Strahm (wrist) from the 15-day injured list on Friday and optioned right-hander Josh Winckowski to Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Strahm missed over a month with a bruised left wrist after he was hit by a comebacker. Before his injury, the 30-year-old southpaw had a 3.58 ERA, a 1.23 WHIP and a 32:7 K:BB in 27 2/3 relief innings. Strahm also has three saves on the season, and he could be part of the team's closer-by-committee situation down the stretch along with names like Garrett Whitlock, John Schreiber and Matt Barnes.
