Working as primary pitcher Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo confirmed Stripling would serve as a primary pitcher behind opener Trent Thornton in Monday's game against the Rays, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sports...
Impact Thornton will likely work the first 2-to-3 innings of the contest before the Blue Jays turn the game over to Stripling. The transition from a traditional starting gig to a bulk-reliever role can only help Stripling, who has posted a 7.20 ERA and 1.76 WHIP through his first six outings.

Denied Monday start Stripling won't start Monday's game against the Rays, with the Blue Jays announcing that Trent Thornton would instead serve as the team's opening pitcher of the day, Hazel Mae of S...
Impact Toronto hasn't suggested that Stripling has been scratched from the contest, so he could still be available out of the bullpen as a primary pitcher. Thornton hasn't worked more than 2.2 innings or tossed more than 42 pitches in any of his 14 appearances (two starts) this season, so the Blue Jays will likely treat him as more of an opener than a traditional starter. If the team plans to use Stripling behind Thornton, the former would actually be in better position to factor into any decision than he would in a traditional starting role. If he goes unused Monday, Stripling could end up starting against the Yankees in New York on Wednesday, when Toronto will have an opening in the rotation after Anthony Kay was optioned to the minors last week.

Short outing in loss Stripling (0-3) allowed six runs on eight hits and struck out three in 3.2 innings, taking the loss Wednesday versus Boston.
Impact Stripling had a disastrous first, as he allowed back-to-back home runs to Alex Verdugo and J.D. Martinez. Enrique Hernandez added the last run on Stripling's line with a solo shot in the second. The veteran right-hander hasn't been able to find a groove in 2021 with a 7.20 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 29:8 K:BB across 25 innings. He tentatively lines up to face Tampa Bay next week.

Fans nine in no-decision Stripling allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out nine in five innings in Thursday's win over Atlanta. He didn't factor into the decision.

He gave up two runs in the first inning but bounced back by tossing four scoreless innings afterward. The right-hander has now improved to a 5.91 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 21.1 innings across his first five starts of the year. He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Red Sox on Wednesday.

Takes loss in short outing Stripling (0-2) yielded three runs on six hits and three walks over 3.2 innings Friday, striking out three and taking a loss against Houston.
Impact Stripling was cursed by a second inning where he allowed a two-run shot to Carlos Correa before walking in a third run. He needed 82 pitches to get through just 3.2 frames and saw his season ERA climb to 6.61. He's failed to finish five innings in three of his four outings on the year. Stripling is currently lined up to take the mound in Atlanta next week.
