2024 Fantasy Outlook
Stripling's 2023 season was split evenly between the Giants' rotation and bullpen. He spent time on the injured list with a back strain but returned to post a 3.94 xFIP over his final 53.2 innings. Home runs have become a recurring issue -- the right-hander has allowed at least 2.0 HR/9 in three of the past four seasons. His low walk rate is a double-edged sword, as it's inevitable that big-league hitters will punish his below-average stuff in the strike zone. Never a big strikeout pitcher, Stripling managed just an 18.4 K% last season. The 34-year-old was traded to Oakland in February, and while it is not a great situation, he will at least have the opportunity to revitalize his career with regular starts. Stripling reported to spring training with a new pitch which he described as a modified version of a slider that drops down late. Read Past Outlooks
Impressive in spring debut
Stripling (finger) didn't factor into the decision in a Cactus League win over the Rangers on Sunday, allowing an unearned run on two hits and recording a strikeout over three innings.
ANALYSIS
Stripling came on in the fourth inning in relief of starter JP Sears, who pitched a dominant first three frames that included seven strikeouts. Stripling didn't come close to matching his southpaw rotation mate in that regard, but he equaled Sears' workload and escaped without an earned run on his line. The veteran right-hander was originally slated to work up to 45 pitches, but Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports that manager Mark Kotsay relayed Stripling needed to put in another inning's worth of work in the bullpen to reach that count because he'd been so efficient on the mound.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Plans to pick up option
According to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area, Stripling is expected to exercise his $12.5 million player option for 2024.
ANALYSIS
The 33-year-old had two month-long stints on the injured list in 2023 due to back issues and had a 5.36 ERA across 89 innings when available, so it's hardly a surprise he plans to exercise the option. Stripling started in 11 of his 22 appearances and is likely to work as a swingman again in 2024, which has been his main role for most of his eight-year MLB career.

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.
