Ross Stripling

Ross Stripling had a no-decision as he allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings of work in a loss to the Angels on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Stripling has struggled in his first two starts of the season and has a 7.56 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 10/3 K/BB ratio across 8 1/3 innings. The 31-year-old righty's next appearance will be on Tuesday against the Yankees and fantasy owners should be avoiding Stripling in that one.

Ross Stripling surrendered three runs on seven hits while also walking two and striking out five over 3 1/3 innings on Saturday in a loss to the Yankees.

Fantasy Impact

Stripling is expected to be in a swing man role this season for the Blue Jays but picked up the start on Saturday with Robbie Ray landed on the injured list. Stripling can be left on the waiver wire in most fantasy formats.

Blue Jays president and CEO Mark Shapiro says RHP Ross Stripling is projected to begin the year in the team's rotation.

Fantasy Impact

Stripling is expected to fill the hole left by Nate Pearson (groin). The 31-year-old struggled in 2020 but showed plenty of promise leading up to last season, so he could be worth the gamble in deeper fantasy leagues.

Blue Jays pitcher Ross Stripling throws successful 25-pitch live BP Tuesday and will pitch a two-inning live BP Friday followed by a game five days after.

Fantasy Impact

Stripling is scheduled to be ready by opening day. He had a 3 and 3 record while recording 40 strikeouts in the 2020 season while playing for the Dodgers and Blue Jays.

After the Dodgers traded Ross Stripling to the Blue Jays in the middle of the 2020 season, he and the Jays now agree to a $3 million deal. Roster Resource projects him as their 5th starter.

Fantasy Impact

In 2020, Ross Stripling stumbled upon a bit of a rough patch with a 5.84 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, 18.2% strikeout rate, and 8.2% walk rate in 49.1 innings. That ended up as Stripling's worst season to date. He didn't perform well outside of his first start of the season, where he recorded seven strikeouts, zero walks, and one earned run in seven innings. Look for him to bounceback in 2021 since the underlying metrics tell us he was unlucky in 2020.
