Fantasy Impact:

Strahm’s left shoulder impingement, sidelining him since March 5, progresses with Saturday’s minor-league outing, eyeing Monday’s Phillies finale to prep for Opening Day. The 33-year-old nears clearance. Fantasy managers in deep leagues or hold formats should roster him, banking on his relief skills for early value in Philadelphia’s 2025 bullpen if he’s ready by the season’s start.
