Stripling will start Friday's game against the Pirates, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Rich Hill (blister) has been scratched from a start yet again, and it is unclear when he will make his debut with the Dodgers. This affords Stripling at least one more start with the big league club, and given Hill's slow recovery and the general fragility of the rest of the rotation, it would not be surprising if Stripling sticks around for a bit longer. His numbers read like those of a No. 4 starter, offering acceptable ratios (3.42 FIP, 1.26 WHIP) with below-average strikeouts (17.7 percent K-rate).
