Matt Strahm resumes throwing after shoulder soreness

Phillies pitcher Matt Strahm has resumed throwing after a week of rest due to shoulder soreness. He threw from 90 feet on Saturday and 75 feet on Sunday, feeling positive about his recovery. An MRI showed inflammation and a bone bruise but no structural damage. Strahm's progress may still lead to a precautionary 15-day injured list placement, which would result in missing only nine games. Strahm has been a key player for the Phillies, with a strong performance last season. His potential time on the injured list could affect his future contract status, as he needs to pitch 60 innings to secure a guaranteed option for 2026.
