ROSS STRIPLING NEWS

Returning from IL to start Thursday Stripling (elbow) will rejoin the Athletics' rotation Thursday in Anaheim, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Stripling has been sidelined since late May with a flexor strain but is ready for activation from the 15-day injured list after making three rehab starts. The veteran right-hander had a high pitch count of 56 in those three outings, so he'll probably be a bit limited from a workload perspective against the Angels.

Set for bullpen session Stripling (elbow) will throw a bullpen session Monday or Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.

Impact The right-hander completed five innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday and worked up to 52 pitches. It was Stripling's third rehab outing overall, and if he emerges from the early-week bullpen session without setbacks, it's possible he makes just one more start for an affiliate to build up his pitch count before activation is deemed appropriate.

Set for bullpen session Stripling (elbow) will throw a bullpen session Monday or Tuesday, Janie McCauley of the Associated Press reports.

Impact The right-hander completed five innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, building up to 52 pitches. Stripling has already made three rehab starts but may need one more appearance to build up his pitch count before he returns from the 15-day injured list and slides back into the Oakland rotation.

Works five innings in rehab start Stripling (elbow) gave up two earned runs on eight hits and no walks over five innings in his rehab start Friday with Triple-A Las Vegas. He didn't strike out a batter.

Impact Stripling worked efficiently in the third start of his rehab assignment, needing just 52 pitches (37 strikes) to record 15 outs. Unless Stripling padded his pitch count in a bullpen session after exiting Friday's game, the Athletics will likely want to see Stripling reach around 70 pitches in another rehab start before bringing him back from the 15-day injured list. Stripling has been on the shelf since May 25 with a right elbow flexor strain.

Ups volume in second rehab start Stripling (elbow) started Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Sugar Land on Sunday and allowed three earned runs on five hits and a walk over three innings. He struck out one.

Impact Stripling was originally slated to remain with Single-A Stockton for his second rehab start after a rocky start to his rehab assignment there Tuesday, but those plans were apparently altered in recent days. The right-hander worked up to 56 pitches in Sunday's start for the Aviators, locating 37 of his offerings for strikes. The three runs charged to Stripling came off a pair of singles and a sacrifice fly, so he did do a serviceable job limiting hard contact. Stripling could potentially make at least one more rehab start coming out of the All-Star break in order to further build up his pitch count before returning to the Athletics' rotation.

Staying in Single-A for next outing Stripling (elbow) will remain with Single-A Stockton for his next rehab appearance, which will take place Sunday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Stripling had been slated to work up to approximately 35 pitches in his rehab debut Tuesday, but he was pulled short of that mark after surrendering two runs over two-thirds of an inning. The right-hander had originally been projected to bump up to Triple-A Las Vegas for his second rehab start, but it seems the organization would like to give Stripling one more opportunity to work out some kinks at a lower level before moving his assignment to the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League with the Aviators. Stripling did emerge from Tuesday's 24-pitch start feeling healthy, so he presumably remains on track to return shortly after the All-Star break.

Impact Stripling was slated to throw about 35 pitches, but he was pulled after 24 offerings. The right-hander allowed a solo home run and saw another runner cross the plate on a fielding error, making for an all-around eventful rehab debut. Stripling is still likely to make his next rehab start at Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday, unless the outcome of Tuesday's appearance alters that plan in some form.

Rehab assignment imminent Stripling (elbow) will throw a bullpen session Saturday and then head out to Single-A Stockton to start a rehab assignment Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Saturday's bullpen session is the final benchmark for Stripling to clear before a return to game action for the first time since May 24. Stripling is expected to start Stockton's game Tuesday and projected to throw up to 35 pitches. If the outing goes well, he'll be bumped up to Triple-A Las Vegas for his next rehab start or appearance Sunday, July 14.

Completes live BP session Wednesday Stripling (elbow) pitched a live batting practice session before Wednesday's game against the Angels, the Associated Press reports.

Impact Stripling's session seemed to have gone off without any issues, and he's now thrown a pair of bullpen sessions and Wednesday's batting practice in the last eight days. Manager Mark Kotsay had previously indicated Stripling would likely begin a rehab assignment if he didn't experience any setbacks while facing live hitters, so the veteran right-hander could be heading to Triple-A Las Vegas to begin that phase of his recovery in the coming days.

Set to face hitters Wednesday Stripling (elbow) is scheduled to face hitters in a live batting practice session Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Stripling will move on to the next phase of his rehab program after he completed a two-inning simulated bullpen session Saturday without incident. The 34-year-old has been on the shelf since May 25 with a right elbow flexor strain and will likely need at least one or two rehab starts before he's cleared to return from the 15-day injured list, most likely after the All-Star break.

Throws bullpen Tuesday Stripling (elbow) was able to complete a bullpen session before Tuesday's game against the Angels and is set to throw another Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Impact The veteran right-hander came away feeling healthy from Tuesday's activity, and he's expected to throw 30-35 pitches in his session Saturday. Assuming that bullpen also goes off without a hitch, Stripling could be deemed ready to face hitters at some point during the subsequent week.

Shut down from throwing Stripling (elbow) has been shut down from throwing for up to 10 days, MLB.com reports.

Impact Manager Mark Kotsay added that the veteran right-hander will be reevaluated after that point, but the news just adds to the misery of Stripling's first season in Oakland. Before going on the injured list Saturday, the 34-year-old had already tied a career worst with nine losses across his first 11 starts, and his 1.60 WHIP over that span also serves as a low-water mark over his first nine big-league seasons.

Seeing doctor Sunday Stripling will see a doctor Sunday to evaluate his right elbow, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Stripling was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a strained right elbow, and the severity of the injury will be known following Sunday's meeting. The right-hander has struggled this season, going 1-9 over 11 starts while registering a 5.82 ERA and 1.60 WHIP over 55.2 innings.
