Padres manager Jayce Tingler confirmed Monday that Strahm (knee) will begin the season on the injured list, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Considering that Strahm hasn't pitched at any point during the Padres' Cactus League schedule, his move to the IL was fully expected. The 29-year-old is still ramping up from the patellar tendon surgery he required last October, and at this point he remains without a clear timetable to make his 2021 debut.
