Stripling was sent from the Dodgers to the Blue Jays in exchange for a pair of players to be named later Monday.
EDGE Analysis
After several seasons stuck as a swingman in Los Angeles, Stripling should have a good shot to start on a full-time basis for his new team. He'll be the third starter acquired by Toronto at the deadline, joining Taijuan Walker and Robbie Ray. Stripling's 5.61 ERA through seven starts this season is rather unimpressive, but he'd recorded an ERA below 4.00 in each of his first four seasons in the league. If he can recapture his previous form, he'll be a very useful piece for the Blue Jays, who currently hold onto the eighth and final playoff spot in the American League.

Stripling allowed three earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three across four innings Saturday against the Rangers. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Stripling was given a three-run lead but couldn't pitch deep enough into the game to qualify for a victory. He gave up back-to-back home runs to start the third inning and was ultimately pulled after allowing the first two batters he faced to reach base in the fifth inning. Stripling has failed to work at least five innings in each of his last four starts, during which he's allowed 13 earned runs across 15.2 frames. He is currently projected to make his next start Friday against Colorado.

Stripling allowed two runs on two walks and six hits over four innings Sunday, striking out two in the win over Colorado. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Both runs that Stripling allowed came via solo homers - one in the third inning by Trevor Story and a fourth-inning shot by Ryan McMahon. The righty has allowed 10 home runs in 29.2 innings this season, including seven in his last three outings. He'll carry a 5.46 ERA into Saturday's road contest with the Rangers.

Stripling gave up seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and struck out two in three innings versus the Mariners on Monday. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Stripling was spotted a four-run lead after two innings, but he gave it all back after allowing three homers in the third. The 30-year-old has struggled to pitch deep into games his last two times out, lasting just 7.2 innings combined in that span. The right-hander has a 5.61 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 22 strikeouts in 25.2 innings this season. Stripling is expected to make his next start Sunday versus the Rockies.

Stripling (3-1) took the loss against San Diego on Tuesday, pitching 4.2 innings and allowing six runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out four.
EDGE Analysis
Only two of the runs charged to Stripling were earned, though he played a part in his own demise with a third-inning throwing error that allowed a run to score and contributed to a five-run frame for San Diego. Four of those runs came on a grand slam by Manny Machado, and Stripling served up another long ball -- this time to Jurickson Profar -- in the fifth inning. The outing was the shortest of the campaign for Stripling, who saw his three-start win streak end with the loss. He'll try to get back on track when he heads down the road to face the Angels on Sunday in his next scheduled start.

Stripling (3-0) earned the win in Wednesday's contest over the Padres. He gave up four runs on six hits -- including a home run -- and two walks while fanning seven across 5.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Stripling began the season tossing seven innings on one-run ball against the Giants on July 24, but he has given up seven runs on 10 hits and four walks combined in 11 innings over his last two starts, both on the road. Stripling's next scheduled start is set for Aug. 11 at home against the Padres.

Stripling (2-0) picked up the win against the Diamondbacks on Thursday, allowing three runs on four hits and a pair of walks while striking out two across 5.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Stripling held the Diamondbacks scoreless until Ketel Marte broke through with a solo home run in the third inning. Overall, it wasn't the cleanest outing, but Stripling still managed to get the job done while his teammates provided ample run support. He'll look to stay undefeated during his next scheduled start Wednesday at San Diego.

Stripling (1-0) picked up the win Friday after holding the Giants to one run on four hits while striking out seven across seven innings.
EDGE Analysis
Stripling did not issue any walks and gave up his only damage of the night on a solo home run to Jaylin Davis in the third inning. The right-hander, who has found himself bouncing between starter and bullpen duties, most recently landed himself a spot in the rotation in replacement of David Price. With a new grip on his changeup, Stripling is proving that he can take on either end of the pitching role. Last season, the 30-year-old compiled a 3.47 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 101:20 K:BB across 32 appearances (15 starts).

Stripling will begin the season at the Dodgers' No. 5 starter, Michael J. Duarte of NBC LA reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stripling had been battling Dustin May for the open rotation spot created when David Price opted out of the season, and manager Dave Roberts confirmed Monday that Stripling will be given first crack at holding down a starting role. The right-hander threw a simulated game Saturday and is lined up to pitch in the Dodgers' second game of the season against the Giants. Stripling has enjoyed success as a starter in the past and could be a strong option in both daily and season-long fantasy leagues.

Stripling in lined up to start the Dodgers' second game of the regular season, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stripling has yet to be announced as the Dodgers' fifth starter, but given the staff's current work schedule -- Stripling will throw a simulated game Saturday while his primary competition for the role, Dustin May, piggybacked with Walker Buehler in an intrasquad game Friday -- the most likely scenario is that Stripling starts and follows Clayton Kershaw in the rotation in order to give Buehler additional time to ramp up to a full workload. Meanwhile, May could continue to piggyback with Buehler early in the campaign, per Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register.
