The Royals are granting the release request by Ross Stripling.

Fantasy Impact

Stripling was not able to make the Royals Opening Day roster. He will look to land another opportunity with a different team.

Ross Stripling agreed to a minor-league contract with the Royals on Wednesday, which includes an invitation to big-league spring training. The veteran right-hander will compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster after struggling to a 6.01 ERA over 85.1 innings with the Athletics last season.

Fantasy Impact

Stripling has been an effective swingman at times in his career but will need to prove himself in camp after a rough 2024 campaign. He is more likely to begin the season at Triple-A Omaha but could be called upon as rotation depth if injuries arise. Fantasy managers can safely ignore him for now outside of deep AL-only formats.

The Athletics activated Ross Stripling from the 15-day IL.

Fantasy Impact

Stripling had been on the injured list for the past few weeks. He could make an appearance this weekend.

The A's have placed Ross Stripling on the 15-day IL with a lower-back strain.

Fantasy Impact

Stripling is eligible to return in the last week of the season, but the strain may be enough to keep him on the IL. Kyle Muller was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move.

The Athletics have moved Ross Stripling to the bullpen.

Fantasy Impact

Stripling will close the season as a long reliever with Oakland looking to younger starters.
