I transplanted my strawberry plant recently to a bigger box and came back to this.

Why did part of my plant shrivel up? Is it trauma? Lack of water? Too much sun?

Will the rest of my plant die with it this late into the summer?

Soil might be too dense and got root rot from excess water. If you pull that plant out check the roots if they smell, brown, feel wet then that is your cause.
