Stripling (2-1) struck out 10 and walked zero in a win over the Padres on Friday, allowing one unearned run on six hits in 6.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Over his last four consecutive starts, Stripling has allowed just three earned runs across 22 innings of work, striking out 31 against two walks in that span. He's brought his season ERA down to 1.74 to go along with a 1.19 WHIP and a 50:9 K:BB in 41.1 innings. With the injuries in the Dodgers' rotation, Stripling figures to toe the rubber again in a start at home next week against the Phillies.

Stripling (1-1) picked up the win in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals. He struck out nine batters and allowed just one run over 6.0 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Stripling helped save the Dodger bullpen a bit, which came in handy in Game 2 of the twin bill with Rich Hill lasting just two pitches in his start. There were some impressive takeaways from Stripling's outing, such as his nine strikeouts backed up with zero walks and only four hits. With two cogs of the rotation already on the shelf before Hill's short start Saturday, it stands to reason that Stripling earned himself another turn in the rotation.

Stripling will not make a start Friday as the Dodgers' game against Washington has been postponed due to inclement weather, Pedro Moura of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The two teams will play a doubleheader Saturday, so Stripling will just get pushed back a day, though the club has yet to announce which contest of the twin-bill he will start as of this time.

Stripling will remain in the Dodgers' rotation for at least one more start, Pedro Moura of The Athletic Los Angeles reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stripling was feeling ill Sunday against the Padres but still managed to toss four scoreless innings. He allowed four hits and two walks while fanning five. Manager Dave Roberts stated that Stripling will remain a part of the starting rotation for at least one more time through -- his next start is expected to come Friday against Cincinnati. The 28-year-old right-hander figures to be sent to the bullpen when Rich Hill (finger) returns from the disabled list.

Stripling will start Sunday against the Padres, Pedro Moura of The Athletic Los Angeles reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the game being played in Monterrey, Mexico, the Dodgers are apparently worried about the humidity bothering Rich Hill's balky finger, so they're opting to keep the veteran on the shelf for a little while longer while Stripling steps into the rotation for another spot start. The 28-year-old allowed four runs on eight hits across four innings in a losing effort in his previous spot start. With Hill confirming he didn't suffer a setback, it's safe to assume he'll rejoin the Dodgers' rotation during the team's upcoming homestead, which should push Stripling back to the bullpen.

Stripling is expected to work out of the bullpen when he's next available over the weekend against the Padres in Monterrey, Mexico,
EDGE Analysis
With Rich Hill (finger) missing a third consecutive turn through the rotation, Stripling made his first start of the season Monday against the Diamondbacks in what was essentially a bullpen game. Stripling needed 66 pitches to get through four innings in that contest, giving up four runs on eight hits and one walk to take the loss. Hill has apparently progressed well over the past few days and is slated to come off the 10-day disabled list to take the hill Sunday, so Stripling will transition back to the long-relief role he has filled successfully for much of the season.

Stripling will start Monday's game against the Diamonbacks, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rich Hill (finger) was expected to return from the disabled list and start Monday's game, but he recently suffered a setback that will ultimately delay his return to the active roster. Stripling, who has allowed just one run over 14.1 innings of relief this season, will face a tough test pitching in Chase Field against the Diamondbacks.

Stripling gave up a run on two hits and a walk over an inning in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
The run broke up Stripling's impressive 9.1-inning scoreless streak to begin the year. The 28-year-old was quietly one of the Dodgers' more-reliable relievers last season when he posted a 3.75 ERA and a 9.0 K/9 over 74.1 innings. Stripling does have 16 starts under his belt (14 coming in 2015), but barring an injury to one of its current starters, the Dodgers will likely keep the righty in a multi-inning relief role.

Stripling (illness) tossed two scoreless innings in his return to action Monday. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Stripling was scratched from his previous start due to an illness from earlier in the month, but it seems like that issue is in the rear-view mirror now. Stripling can now put his focus back on maintaining his spot in the Dodger bullpen.

Stripling was scratched from his scheduled Cactus League start Thursday against the Indians due to an illness, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A bug seems to be making its way around the Dodgers' spring-training complex, as the team sent more than 25 players and staff home Wednesday with illnesses. It's unclear who will start Thursday in Stripling's stead, but the missed outing shouldn't dramatically hinder the right-hander in his attempt to win an Opening Day bullpen gig.
