Matt Strahm passed a season-ending physical that guaranteed his $7.5 million option for 2026, says The Athletic’s Matt Gelb.

Strahm’s option guarantee went into effect when he hit the 60-inning mark this month, but he still needed to pass the physical. Even if the Phillies had some questions about that, they’d probably welcome him back at $7.5 million. He has a 2.74 this season, and he’s posted a 2.71 ERA in 212 2/3 innings since joining the team three years ago.
