Stripling was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.
The team wanted a fresh arm after using seven relievers Thursday and eight relievers Friday. Stripling had a 3.78 ERA and 17:2 K:BB in 16.2 innings at Triple-A, and while he was much less successful as a big league starter earlier in the year, his stuff should play up out of the bullpen. The Dodgers optioned Grant Dayton to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
