Blue Jays place pitcher Stripling on 15-day injured list with hip strain
TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays have placed right-handed pitcher Ross Stripling on the 15-day injured list with a right hip strain.
The move is retroactive to Sunday.
Stripling last pitched in Toronto’s 5-3 win over Detroit on Saturday. He pitched four scoreless innings before being removed after loading the bases with none out, then giving up a sacrifice fly to Kody Clemens. He did not factor in the decision.
A spot starter earlier in the season, Stripling had been a regular in the rotation since June 6 after Hyun Jin Ryu was put on the injury list with an elbow ailment. Ryu has since shut down for the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in June.
