Matt Strahm Not Close To Returning
4 years agoSan 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 ⅓ 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.
