Despite a strong showing during his latest stint with the Dodgers, during which he gave up two runs over 8.2 innings (three games), Stripling is headed back to Oklahoma City. Stripling has posted a poor ERA of 4.85 as a starter for the big club this season, but has been a solid option from the bullpen, where his ERA is just 1.54.
