Matt Strahm To Be Activated Thursday Versus Rockies
Matt Strahm is scheduled to return from the IL for Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The Friars placed Strahm on the IL on June 5 with a left rib strain and has made a prompt recovery in time to start the series opener in Coors Field. It's a tough matchup out of the gate for the southpaw and owners might want to keep him on the bench in his first game back. Strahm has had an up-and-down year with a 4.03 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 56 strikeouts in 60.1 IP, although his ERA inflated after his last start when he gave up seven runs. Expect Strahm to remain a healthy contributor to multiple pitching categories throughout the year, and he should be snagged off waivers wherever he was dropped.
