Kansas City has moved left-handed pitcher Matt Strahm to the 15-day injured list due to inflammation in his right knee, while bringing back left-hander Bailey Falter from his stint on the IL.
The 34-year-old Strahm holds a 1-1 record with a 3.86 ERA across 17 relief outings since rejoining the Royals, the organization that drafted him in 2012.
Throughout his 11 seasons in the majors, Strahm has compiled a 35-39 record with a 3.37 ERA across 412 appearances, including 35 starts, playing for Kansas City (2016-17, 2026), the San Diego Padres (2018-21), Boston Red Sox (2022), and Philadelphia Phillies (2023-25).
The 29-year-old Falter struggled early this season with a 13.50 ERA in two relief appearances before being sidelined with inflammation in his left elbow. During his rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Omaha, he posted a 1-0 record and 2.70 ERA over nine relief outings.
Across six major league campaigns, Falter carries a 25-30 record with a 4.64 ERA in 116 appearances, including 83 starts, having played for Philadelphia (2021-23), the Pittsburgh Pirates (2023-25), and Kansas City.
