Strahm started Wednesday's contest, going 2.1 innings with a run surrendered and two strikeouts in a 3-1 victory over the Braves.
This was technically Strahm's longest outing of the season, but he wasn't allowed to go long enough into the contest to earn a win. The 26-year-old has experience as a starter in the minors, but the Padres continue to handle him with kid gloves coming off of a knee injury last season. Wednesday's bullpen game came in Joey Lucchesi's (hip) spot in the rotation, and a similar situation figures to unfold Tuesday with the injured starter expected to miss at least one more start.
