Stripling was optioned to minor league camp Thursday.

The Dodgers added Stripling to the 40-man roster in November, but he was never a serious candidate to break camp with a rotation spot. Stripling did impress this spring, capping off his run with the big club with four strikeouts in two scoreless innings against Kansas City on Thursday. "There's a lot to like," manager Dave Roberts told the Los Angeles Times. "We see him as a major-league starter."
