Strahm (biceps) appeared in Wednesday's game against the Twins, recording one out while allowing one hit to get the Royals out of the seventh inning.

He was dealing with mild biceps tendinitis earlier in the week, and is likely still not quite 100 percent, but he's healthy enough to pitch. Strahm has been a lights-out reliever since joining the big league bullpen after working as a starter in the Texas League. However, after initially striking out 19 in his first 11.2 innings, he now only has two strikeouts in his last 5.1 innings, which might coincide with the tendinitis.
