Matt Strahm Stats

San Diego Padres reliever Matt Strahm (knee) will begin the season on the injured list and there's no timetable for his return. He underwent right knee surgery in the offseason and didn't pitch this spring. The 29-year-old southpaw has been a steady presence in the Friars bullpen the past three seasons, posting a 2.61 ERA in 19 appearances last year. Strahm possesses a four pitch arsenal but isn't overpowering, owning a modest 25 percent strikeout rate in 253 career frames. Strahm should be a fixture in the Friars bullpen once he's deemed healthy, but his uncertain role makes him a clear pass in fantasy.

San Diego Padres left-handed pitcher Matt Strahm (knee) will undergo a patellar tendon repair in his right knee. He underwent a similar surgery on his left knee in 2017 when he was with the Royals. Strahm went 0-1 with a 2.61 ERA in 19 outings in his third season with the Friars this year. The 28-year-old southpaw made 46 appearances in 2019 and started 16 of those, sporting a 4.71 ERA and 1.25 WHIP while striking out 9.3 hitters per nine innings. In his five MLB seasons, Strahm has made 151 appearances, with only 24 coming in the form of a start. He can be ignored in the vast majority of fantasy leagues heading into the 2021 season.

San Diego Padres pitcher Matt Strahm (knee) was activated off of the 10-day injured list on Tuesday afternoon. The 28-year-old has not appeared in a game since Sept. 10 due to knee inflammation. Strahm owns a stingy 2.84 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, and 14/3 K/BB through 19 innings out of the bullpen in 2020. He is a viable source of ratios for fantasy managers but offers little else in the way of value.
