Stripling (back) came out of his bullpen session Wednesday feeling good and will thrown another one Saturday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander was able to throw mostly fastballs while occasionally mixing in each of his offspeed pitches during Wednesday's session, which consisted of 25 pitches overall. If all goes just as smoothly with Saturday's activity, Stripling remains hopeful of being activated when first eligible Tuesday.
