EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old right-hander will probably work in bulk relief behind lefty opener Scott Alexander on Friday. After signing a two-year, $25 million contract with San Francisco over the winter, Stripling has struggled to a 5.21 ERA through 67.1 innings (11 starts, six relief appearances) this season.
