Matt Strahm News
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.
Boston Red Sox reliever Matt Strahm (wrist) will likely be activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Baltimore Orioles, according to Alex Speier of the Boston Globe. The 30-year-old lefty has been sidelined since taking a comebacker off his wrist on July 12. He made a rehab outing on Tuesday in Triple-A and retired all three batters he faced. Strahm will look to pick up right where he left off, which includes a 3.58 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and .248 OBA along with an impressive 10.41 K/9 and 2.28 BB/9.
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that left-handed reliever Matt Strahm (wrist) is playing catch and "there's a good chance he'll throw a bullpen on Aug. 9." Strahm was hit on the left wrist by a line drive on July 12 against the Tampa Bay Rays, but X-rays came back negative. It remains unclear if the Red Sox will send the 30-year-old southpaw on a minor league rehab assignment, but either way, he's nearing a return to Boston's big-league bullpen. Although Strahm does have three saves this year, there's not a ton of fantasy value in his left arm. He's sporting a 3.58 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with 32 strikeouts and seven walks in 27 2/3 innings pitched this year.
