Athletics' Ross Stripling: Returns in relief Saturday
Ross Stripling fired a scoreless sixth inning in an extra-inning loss to the Mariners on Saturday, issuing a walk.The veteran right-hander had been activated from the injured list Friday, and manager Mark Kotsay opted to have him return in a relief capacity. Stripling has struggled to a 2-11 record, 6.01 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 22 appearances (14 starts) in his debut Oakland Athletics campaign, making him a dubious candidate for a return to the team in free agency this offseason.

Athletics' Ross Stripling: Returns from injured list
The Oakland Athletics reinstated Ross Stripling (back) from the 15-day injured list Friday.Stripling landed on the injured list Sept. 11 due to a lower-back strain and began facing live hitters again as recently as Tuesday. Now that he's healthy, he'll presumably take on a low-leverage role out of the bullpen for the final three games of the season. Meanwhile, Brady Basso will head to the Arizona Complex League in order to free up a roster spot.

Athletics' Ross Stripling: Throws live batting practice
Ross Stripling (back) completed a live batting practice session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.The veteran right-hander presumably got through the session without any issues, and it's the third box he's checked off within the last week after also completing bullpen sessions last Wednesday and Saturday. Assuming Stripling doesn't have any residual effects from Tuesday's activity in coming days, he remains a candidate to be activated at some point during the final series of the season that begins Friday against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park.

Athletics' Ross Stripling: Bullpen session on tap
Ross Stripling (back) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday and another several days after, MLB.com reports.The veteran right-hander has been on the injured list since last Tuesday with a lower-back strain, and Wednesday will mark the first time he'll attempt to do any throwing since that point. If all goes well with the session, Stripling is slated to repeat the process at some point after the Oakland Athletics begin a homestand Friday against the Yankees. Despite the recent developments, a return for Stripling before the end of the regular season isn't a certainty in the view of manager Mark Kotsay, per the Associated Press.

Athletics' Ross Stripling: Impressive in long relief Friday
Ross Stripling fired 4.1 scoreless relief innings in a loss to the Brewers on Friday, allowing two hits and two walks while recording four strikeouts. He did not factor into the decision.Starter JP Sears was atypically ineffective and chased after 3.2 innings and 90 pitches, so Stripling was called on to deploy his multi-inning capabilities and ideally spare some of his bullpen mates. The one-time starter came through as hoped, getting 13 outs on 68 pitches to serve as a bridge to the ninth inning. The outing was only Stripling's second since officially being moved to the bullpen, with his first relief appearance having come nine days prior against the Mets.

Athletics' Ross Stripling: Moved to bullpen
Oakland Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said Tuesday that Ross Stripling is being shifted to a long-relief role, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.Stripling has a 5.72 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 40:16 K:BB across 72.1 innings (14 starts) this season, and he'll be removed from the rotation in favor of Oakland's younger arms. He didn't have much fantasy utility as a starter given the lack of effectiveness, and that's not likely to change in a long-relief role.

Athletics' Ross Stripling: Dealt 11th loss
Ross Stripling (2-11) allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out two in 5.1 innings during Tuesday's loss to the White Sox.Stripling kept the White Sox off the board through three innings before Andrew Benintendi got a hold of one for a two-run blast in the fourth. That was enough to put Stripling in line for the loss, as the Oakland Athletics only mustered up a single run on the night. Stripling's outing carried into the sixth, but he was only able to record one out before being pulled after giving up a walk and two singles, which led to another run. He was charged with a fourth run before the inning concluded. Stripling's 11 losses are tied for third most in baseball and his 5.72 ERA would be the second-worst mark among all qualified pitchers if he had enough innings under his belt. The 34-year-old will look for a bounce-back outing his next time out against the Mets next week.
