Stripling (3-3) fired five innings of scoreless, four-hit ball against the Red Sox in Saturday's 3-0 victory. He walked one and struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
The young right-hander excelled in his spot start after being called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday due to Bud Norris' (back) placement on the DL. Stripling got into early trouble by loading the bases in the first, but wiggled out of it by getting Sandy Leon to ground back softly to the mound. He then retired 15 of the next 18 batters he faced, setting down one of baseball's most potent offenses. It was the 26-year-old's first start since May 19, and it remains to be seen if and when he'll take another turn in the rotation.

Stripling will be recalled from Triple A Oklahoma City and start in Saturday's matchup with the Red Sox, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The is an unsurprising move considering he was just scratched from his scheduled Friday start in Oklahoma City. Stripling has a 4.14 ERA in 54.1 innings pitched for the Dodgers this season. Bud Norris will be placed on the DL to make room for Stripling.

Stripling was scratched from his scheduled start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers haven't announced anything just yet, but it seems it's Stripling (not Jose De Leon) who's in line to start Saturday opposite Boston's Eduardo Rodriguez. Stripling burst onto the scene early in April with a couple dazzling performances to begin his major league career, but he fizzled fairly quickly and will likely get bumped again when Bud Norris (back) is ready to go.

Stripling was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Despite a strong showing during his latest stint with the Dodgers, during which he gave up two runs over 8.2 innings (three games), Stripling is headed back to Oklahoma City. Stripling has posted a poor ERA of 4.85 as a starter for the big club this season, but has been a solid option from the bullpen, where his ERA is just 1.54.

Stripling threw 3.2 innings of relief Sunday after starter Bud Norris was removed after just 13 pitches with a lat strain. Stripling allowed two runs on three hits and a walk, but failed to pitch deep enough to earn a decision
EDGE Analysis
The outing was Stripling's third appearance since being recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City, and the right-hander performed well considering he was called upon on such short notice. Both runs came in the fourth right before he was removed, and right before the Dodgers proceeded to pour 14 runs on the Diamondbacks. While Stripling would have liked the win, more important for fantasy owners is that it looks as though Norris will make his next start, meaning Stripling will stay in the bullpen, minimizing his fantasy usefulness.

Stripling was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The team wanted a fresh arm after using seven relievers Thursday and eight relievers Friday. Stripling had a 3.78 ERA and 17:2 K:BB in 16.2 innings at Triple-A, and while he was much less successful as a big league starter earlier in the year, his stuff should play up out of the bullpen. The Dodgers optioned Grant Dayton to Triple-A as a corresponding move.

Stripling (fatigue) was activated off the minor league DL on Tuesday, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.
EDGE Analysis
Striping threw a successful three inning relief appearance for Triple-A Oklahoma City last week and is now set to come off the DL from lower body fatigue. He'll reassume a 4.53 ERA and 1.36 WHIP and will likely provide depth in the Dodgers' bullpen for now.

Stripling pitched for three innings in Sunday's 16-inning game against the Padres before being removed. He will be replaced by Mike Bolsinger while he spends a stint in the minors.

Stripling (1-3) got the hook after pitching just 4.2 innings in Thursday's loss to the Angels. He allowed five runs, seven hits and three walks while striking out three.
EDGE Analysis
After not allowing more than three earned runs in any of his first four starts this season, Stripling has now given up four-plus earned in three of his last four starts. Stripling seemed to have gotten through the worst of the Angels lineup in the fifth inning when he struck out Albert Pujols with the bases loaded. However, his next pitch was the first time he's ever hit a batter and it led to manager Dave Roberts pulling the plug. The rookie will look to bounce back in his next start Tuesday against the Red.

Stripling earned his first win of the season Friday versus the Cardinals, allowing four runs with two strikeouts and three walks across five innings.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't Stripling's prettiest outing by any stretch, but he pitched well enough to get the W and received a boost from the Cardinals' poor defense, which cost them four unearned runs. Stripling now has a 4.26 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP through seven starts this season, and he will look to improve on his personal performance Wednesday versus the struggling Angels.
