The Dodgers will consider moving Stripling to the bullpen later in the season as he approaches his innings limit, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Stripling is up to 13.1 innings through two starts this season with a third outing on the docket for Wednesday. However, the Dodgers plan on limiting his innings as the season wears on given that this is his first full year back from Tommy John surgery. Furthermore, with the likes of Michael Bolsinger, Frankie Montas, and others on track to return by early summer, Stripling may have been destined for a bullpen role long before Tuesday's announcement regarding an innings limit.
