2024 Fantasy Outlook
Strahm signed a two-year, $15 million deal with Philadelphia last offseason and the team announced during spring training their intent to stretch him out as a multi-inning reliever. A short time later, he entered the starting rotation, but his stay was short-lived as he was only covering for an injured starter. The southpaw made 10 starts across 56 appearances, and while some were as an opener, his flexibility in a hybrid role was a huge reason the Phillies bullpen improved last season. Strahm struck out 108 batters over 87.2 innings and compiled nine wins, two saves and 11 holds alongside excellent ratios. He's unlikely to close many games for Philadelphia in 2024, but a similar role and output to last season would provide value to fantasy managers. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
2018
2017
Strahm has been inconsistent over the past several seasons, but he performed well while working solely as a reliever in 2020. He posted a 2.61 ERA and career-best 0.87 WHIP over 20.2 innings while making 19 appearances for the Padres. Strahm worked as a late reliever in 2020 but failed to convert on either of his save chances. While his numbers were encouraging on the surface, Strahm's underlying marks were concerning. His 5.01 xFIP was his worst since 2017, and his strikeout rate dropped to 18.1% after posting marks above 24.0% over his first four seasons in the majors. Instead, the 29-year-old relied more on limiting meaningful contact, and he improved to a 44.1 GB% and 5.1% barrel rate. Although Strahm had encouraging results on the surface, he struggled with strikeouts. He's unlikely to close out games for the Padres in 2021, while his underlying marks suggest that his output may not be sustainable.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see high-leverage work
According to Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Strahm could see more high-leverage work after Jose Alvarado was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with left elbow inflammation.
ANALYSIS
Strahm was shifted from the rotation to the bullpen just last week and picked up a multi-inning save Sunday when the Phillies tacked on more runs late, but he didn't seem likely to see consistent late-inning chances prior to Alvarado's injury. Strahm is still transitioning back to relief work and isn't expected to pitch on back-to-back days, at least for now. The left-hander shouldn't be expected to see many save chances with Craig Kimbrel and Gregory Soto expected to split closer duties with Alvarado out.
