Matt Strahm | Fantasy Outlook

Strahm Navigating Recent Slump Amid Injured Royals Bullpen

Strahm has hit a rough patch lately, posting a 6.92 ERA and 1.35 WHIP over his last six appearances. Despite these recent ratio struggles, he remains a vital piece of the fourth-place Royals bullpen, which is currently navigating a wave of injuries to relievers like Carlos Estevez, Nick Mears, and James McArthur. He should continue to see high-leverage opportunities but needs to limit the hits allowed to regain fantasy trust.

While his recent 6.92 ERA is concerning, our models project a strong rest-of-season bounce-back toward a 3.46 ERA and 1.12 WHIP over 65.0 projected innings. This expected improvement aligns closely with his stellar career baselines, such as his sub-3.00 ERAs in both 2024 and 2025. Expect his strikeout rate to tick back up toward his projected 60 strikeouts, making his recent slide look like a temporary fluke.

The Royals host six games this week against the Rangers and Astros, giving Strahm ample opportunity to get back on track. However, our weekly projection of a 3.90 ERA and limited strikeout output makes him difficult to trust right now. Unless you are desperate for holds in deep leagues, the definitive play is to sit him until his ratios stabilize.
