Ross Stripling Stats

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Ross Stripling (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a left oblique strain, according to Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun. In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays have recalled pitcher Trent Thornton from Triple-A and he will be active for Wednesday night's game. Stripling was forced to exit his start early on Tuesday after allowing one hit and one walk over two innings of work against the Angels. There's no word on how long he will be out, but given the fact it's an oblique injury it's entirely possible he might not pitch again during the regular season. Managers should stash him on the IL for now, but keep an eye out for updates on his timetable for a potential return.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Ross Stripling (oblique) was forced to leave his start against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday after suffering an oblique strain. He pitched just two innings in the start, allowing one hit, one walk and no runs without recording any strikeouts. After the game, Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo told the media, "I don't want to speculate but he's not gonna make his next start that's for sure." A stint on the injured list might be likely for Stripling, but at the very least, he'll miss his next turn in the rotation. As a result, Steven Matz will remain in the rotation for now, making his next start on Sunday against the Seattle Mariners.
