Strahm, a first-time All-Star and avid card collector, said it’s “not 100% yet.” But he’s hopeful the Hall of Fame will follow through on its request. Officials from the Hall travel around the country during the season and collect artifacts for the museum., included parallel variations of Strahm’s first Phillies card, in addition to a Topps Now card from his series-clinching save in last year’s division series against the Braves.

He was a Twins fan, with a special affinity for then-closer “Everyday” Eddie Guardado.
Walker has been sidelined since June 23 with an inflamed right index finger that was affecting his grip on the splitter. He threw a bullpen session Tuesday in Minnesota and is scheduled to face hitters in a live batting practice setting Saturday at Citizens Bank Park.
