Stripling (biceps) threw a bullpen session Saturday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stripling is battling biceps tightness and is expected to require more than a minimum-length stay on the 10-day injured list. A rehab assignment is likely coming next, possibly with High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Tuesday.

Stripling (biceps) played catch from 90 feet and hopes to throw a bullpen session this weekend, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stripling said after throwing Tuesday that he isn't quite free of symptoms from the biceps injury, though he is "getting close." The 29-year-old is eligible to be activated off the 10-day injured list Sunday, but he'll instead be forced to miss at least one more start. Julio Urias is starting in his place Tuesday and figures to remain in the rotation for the time being.

Stripling was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with right biceps tightness.

EDGE Analysis

While we knew Stripling was likely headed to the IL, this is particularly newsworthy because he was previously reported to be dealing with a neck issue, and now it is a biceps injury, which is more concerning. He is eligible to be activated Aug. 4 but may require more than the minimum 10 days to get healthy. Julio Urias seems like the most likely option to take Stripling's spot in the rotation.

Stripling (neck) is likely headed to the 10-day injured list, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

He isn't throwing his scheduled bullpen Saturday and won't throw one Sunday either, meaning he won't be ready for his scheduled start Tuesday, hence the IL speculation. Julio Urias seems like the best bet to slot into the rotation in the short term. Stripling's likely IL stint can be backdated to July 25.

Stripling (neck) is still having issues with his neck and remains questionable to make his scheduled start Tuesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stripling was pulled from Wednesday's start after deciding to pitch through neck pain and may require additional time to recover. However, he's slated to toss a bullpen either Saturday or Sunday, per Plunkett, so if all goes well, he'll likely be cleared to take the hill Tuesday. The 29-year-old lines up to pitch at Coors Field, so it's not an appealing matchup for the right-hander, regardless of the injury.

Stripling (neck) admitted after exiting early in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Angels that he's a "50-50" proposition for his next scheduled start July 30 in Colorado, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stripling took the loss despite giving up only two runs on three hits and no walks over five innings, but he was fortunate to avoid more damage to his ERA and WHIP. According to the Associated Press, Stripling said his fastball velocity sat in the 87-to-88 mile-per-hour range in his final inning. Stripling, who revealed that he woke up with neck pain before deciding to pitch through the condition Wednesday, previously battled neck problems in spring training, which could prompt the Dodgers to act cautiously with him. Even if Stripling had entered the upcoming week in optimal health, he'd make for a dicey lineup choice while pitching at the hitters' paradise that is Coors Field.

Stripling was removed from Wednesday's start against the Angels after five innings due to a stiff neck, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stripling allowed two runs on three hits and had thrown only 62 pitches, so it was quite a surprise when he didn't take the mound for the sixth inning after batting for himself in the previous frame. More information should be available on the injury within the next couple days.

Stripling allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and no walks while striking out five across five innings Thursday against Philadelphia. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Stripling allowed a run in each of the first three innings prior to settling in to retire the final six batters he faced. He's slowly built up his pitch count since beginning work as a starter and was allowed to surpass 85 pitches for the first time this season on Thursday. After being roughed up during his first few appearances in the rotation, Stripling has seen improved results of late, allowing only three earned runs with 12 strikeouts and no walks across his last ten frames. He'll look to build on the recent stretch in his next start, likely to come Wednesday against the Angels.

Stripling (4-3) earned the win Saturday in Boston after giving up one run on four hits over five innings. He struck out seven and did not issue a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Stripling surrendered four runs in each of his last two starts, but he was able to stifle the Red Sox on Saturday. The 29-year-old has a 3.65 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 69:19 K:BB through 66.2 innings and lines up to start Thursday in Philadelphia.

Stripling (3-3) allowed four runs on six hits with no walks across 4.1 innings to take the loss Sunday against the Padres. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

All the major damage to Stripling's ledger came via the home run, including solo shots in the first and second innings before a three-run job off reliever Pedro Baez allowed two of his baserunners to score in the fifth. He threw the ball well at times, as 69 percent of his pitches went for strikes and he refrained from walking a batter for the first time as a starter this year. Still, Stripling has allowed eight runs across nine innings in his last two outings and could head back to the bullpen after the All-Star break.
