Expert Response
First, make certain that growth is part of the strawberry plant. Trace the stem down to the ground to see if it is a free standing weed or part of the strawberry plant.
If it is part of the plant, it might be aster yellows, although what I'm seeing lacks the typical signs of aster yellows. Look here:
