.Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Ross Stripling admitted that he had been tipping his pitches recently. It had to do with his foot positioning while he was in the stretch with men on base. Stripling was an All-Star this year and put up excellent numbers, but he was injured in the second half and struggled upon his return from the disabled list. There's no word yet on whether he'll be on the roster for the National League Championship Series, but if he is, he'll likely work in a relief role.

Stripling was left off the Dodgers' 25-man NLDS roster against Atlanta, J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group reports.

Stripling (8-6) took the loss Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 1.2 innings against the Diamondbacks.

.Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Ross Stripling fell to 8-5 after Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Padres. Stripling lasted just 3 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on three hits (including a two-run home run) and two walks with four strikeouts. The 28-year-old hasn't been able to regain his stellar form since returning from a back injury but still has a solid 2.84 ERA, 10.02 K/9, and 1.50 BB/9 rate on the season.

.Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Ross Stripling will start on Friday against the Padres. Rich Hill was initially supposed to start on Friday, so it's unclear if they are just pushing him back or skipping his start entirely. Stripling has gone exactly 3 1/3 innings in each of his last two starts and has allowed four earned runs in those two outings, so it's not like he's been very good. However, he's worth streaming against the Padres lineup that likes to strike out often.

Stripling will take the mound against the Padres on Friday.

.Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Ross Stripling fell to 8-4 after Sunday's 5-0 loss to the Cardinals. Stripling allowed three runs on four hits (including a solo home run) and no walks with five strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings. The short outing is not a huge surprise, as Stripling is working his way back from a back injury. He now has a 2.77 ERA, 10.00 K/9 rate, and 1.38 BB/9 rate through 117 IP. Hopefully, Stripling will be able to pitch longer and better in his next start Saturday against the Padres.

.Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Ross Stripling looked solid in his start against the Reds Wednesday, allowing a single run on three hits (including a solo home run) and a walk with four strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings. The start was Stripling's first since August 9 as he had been dealing with a back injury, so the limited innings was not surprising (he actually exceeded the projected three innings of work by an out). The 28-year-old now has a 2.61 ERA, a 9.90 K/9 rate, and a 1.43 BB/9 rate in 113 2/3 IP this season. Manager Dave Roberts said that Stripling may make another start Sunday against the Cardinals. Fantasy owners in daily lineup leagues should monitor Stripling's news closely over the coming days.

.Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Ross Stripling will make the start on Wednesday against the Reds, but manager Dave Roberts said Stripling will go three innings or 45 pitches. Stripling has a fine 2.61 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and career-high 9.9 K/9 on the season, but he's been used in relief since he returned from the disabled list and isn't worth streaming, even in a good matchup.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and starting pitcher Ross Stripling (back) are planning a return from the disabled list this Friday. He had an "up-and-down" two-inning bullpen session on Sunday and will throw a simulated game on Tuesday before coming off the DL on Friday. Stripling has been great for the Dodgers this year, going 8-3 with a 2.62 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and career-high 9.9 K/9 in 28 outings (17 starts). He'll only be fantasy relevant if he's back in the starting rotation, though.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Ross Stripling (back) had a "great" day while throwing on flat ground on Wednesday, and he's scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Thursday. Stripling is slowly working his way back, but it's unclear if he'll return to the rotation or the bullpen when he's fully healthy. On the season, the right-hander has been excellent with a 2.62 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and career-high 9.9 K/9 in 28 outings (17 starts). If he's relegated to the bullpen, it'll pretty much kill his remaining fantasy value.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Ross Stripling (back) is not symptom-free and will attempt to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday. Stripling could come off the disabled list later this week if he comes out of his bullpen session OK. However, his fantasy value remains up in the air for the rest of the year, as there's a good chance he'll be used out of the bullpen to close out the season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed relief pitcher Ross Stripling (back) on the 10-day disabled list on Wednesday with lower back inflammation. The move is retroactive to Aug. 12. Stripling basically loses most of his fantasy value with a move to the bullpen and now he's on the DL, so you can likely drop him at this point in most formats. It's a shame, too, since Stripling was pitching well this year with a 2.62 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 121 strikeouts over 110 innings.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Ross Stripling (back) will visit with Dr. Robert Watkins, a back specialist, on Wednesday. Stripling's back flared up after he threw his latest bullpen session. Stripling was sent to the bullpen to make room for Hyun-Jin Ryu in the starting rotation recently. He'll lose most of his fantasy value pitching in relief, but he must get healthy first. The right-hander is 8-3 with a 2.62 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 121 strikeouts in 110 innings in 28 outings (17 starts).

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Ross Stripling (back) is dealing with a sore back muscle and may not be available out of the bullpen on Tuesday, according to manager Dave Roberts. Stripling, an All-Star this year, has been moved to the bullpen to make room in the rotation for Hyun-Jin Ryu. It kills most of his fantasy value. The right-hander had gone 8-3 with a 2.62 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and career-high 9.9 K/9 over 28 appearances (17 starts) for the Blue.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Ross Stripling returned to the mound on Thursday after missing his previous start with a toe injury. The 28-year-old lefty pitched a solid, if not overly exciting, six innings of ball, giving up four hits and one run. He struck out two batters, but also walked a pair in his first quality start in roughly a month. He didn't pick up the win though, since the Dodgers bullpen coughed up the lead in the 7th inning. Stripling has been a pleasant surprise this season, and now owns a 2.62 ERA, 1.127 WHIP, and a 9.9 K/9 rate this season over 17 starts and 28 total appearances on the mound. One word of warning for Stripling owners though: he's already surpassed his career high of 100 innings pitched, and it's entirely possible the team will have him finish the season out of the bullpen if Hyun-Jin Ryu returns to the rotation when healthy (which should happen next week, assuming his final rehab start goes off without a hitch).

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated starting pitcher Ross Stripling (toe) from the 10-day disabled list on Thursday and optioned relief pitcher Pat Venditte to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move. Stripling was an All-Star but had a 4.73 ERA with six home runs allowed in 26 2/3 innings in his last five starts in July. He'll return to the rotation against Colorado at Coors Field on Thursday, which makes him a risky play right off the DL. On the year he's a solid 8-3 with a 2.68 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 119 strikeouts in 104 innings. He could be moved to the bullpen whenever Hyun-Jin Ryu (groin) is ready to rejoin the rotation.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Ross Stripling (toe) said he will be activated from the disabled list in time to start Aug. 9 or 10 at the Rockies. Stripling has been great overall for the Blue this year with an ERA under 3.00, but he allowed nine earned runs in just 8 2/3 innings in his two starts before he landed on the DL. Starting him in Colorado coming off a DL stint won't be the most wise move, either. Stripling could move back to the bullpen once Hyun-Jin Ryu (groin) comes back.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Ross Stripling put forth his second straight poor start in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Braves. Stripling lasted only four innings, surrendering four runs on seven hits (including a home run) and a walk with five strikeouts. Stripling is 8-3 on the season and still owns a stellar 2.68 ERA but has started slow for the second half, allowing nine earned runs in his last two starts.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Ross Stripling allowed three earned runs over six innings Wednesday against the Cubs. Stripling threw just 56 of his 84 pitches for strikes but struck out seven and walked none. Stripling now holds a K:BB of 85:11 for the season, and his K/BB ratio of 7.73 is good for second best in baseball. Stripling has been quite a surprise this season, and a major reason for his success is his increase in strikeouts to go with a decrease in walks. While he's been slightly lucky, no one should be expecting him to finish with a sub-2.00 ERA. He'll look to continue his success Tuesday as he gets the Cubs again.

Stripling allowed two runs on four hits and no walks with six strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings, earning his sixth win of the season.

The 28-year-old has been outstanding this season and now owns a 6-1 record with a 1.76 ERA, 78 strikeouts, and only 11 walks in 66 1/3 IP.
