Matt Strahm hit hard over recent outings for the Royals bullpen
Strahm has run into heavy traffic over his last 30 days, posting a 9.64 ERA and a 1.67 WHIP across 11 appearances. The Royals currently sit fifth in the AL Central with a 43-60 record, leaning heavily on their bullpen amid extensive pitching injuries, including long-term losses to key rotation and relief arms. Strahm remains the primary setup option in the current relief corps based on active usage.
While his full-season projection targets a respectable 3.46 ERA and 70 strikeouts over 65 innings, his recent stretch highlights serious ratio vulnerability. His current 14-day and 30-day form represents a major spike in hits and walks allowed, suggesting his current output is a turbulent slump rather than a sustainable trend relative to his career baselines.
The Royals face a demanding seven-game stretch this week on the road against Detroit, featuring matchups against tough arms like Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize. Given his recent struggles with command and home runs, managers should keep him on the bench. Sit.
