2023 Fantasy Outlook
Stripling began 2022 in a relief role for Toronto, but he moved into the rotation full time as the team's rotation injuries mounted, and he finished with a 3.01 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 111:20 K:BB across 134.1 innings. The right-hander has moved between the rotation and bullpen throughout his big-league career and has often pitched well in both roles, though he's never quite been consistent enough to maintain a long-term spot as a starter. Now entering his age-33 campaign, Stripling secured a two-year deal with the Giants that should allow him to start the year in the rotation, and his underlying numbers in 2022 (3.11 FIP, 17 percent K-BB rate) support him receiving that opportunity. He's never operated as a starter for a full season, but the landing spot in San Francisco sets up his best opportunity to date. Read Past Outlooks

Could face hitters soon
Stripling (back) received a cortisone shot for his SI joint, and he could advance to facing hitters soon, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Stripling told Slusser that he's also made changes to his delivery, and is standing more upright than he was prior to his injury. The right-hander has been on the injured list with a back strain since the middle of May, and assuming he does face hitters in the coming days, he could have a chance to rejoin the San Francisco pitching staff around the middle of June.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
2019
2018
2017
2014
Stripling didn't pitch well enough in 2021 to entrench himself as a member of Toronto's rotation this year. His 4.80 ERA was largely backed up by ERA estimators, and his 1.27 WHIP was the second worst mark of his career. Stripling has a starter's pitch mix and good enough command to start, but he struggles to limit hard contact and has a 2.15 HR/9 over the past two seasons. He has also never topped 122 innings in a season. With the Blue Jays signing Yusei Kikuchi after the lockout, Stripling is poised for a swing man/long reliever role.
