With the trade deadline quickly approaching, the Dodgers are in the market for a pitcher (or two). That’s no secret. One thing that hasn’t been talked about a lot, though, is the workload of Dodgers’ ace Ross Stripling.
Stripling, in his third full season, has already eclipsed his MLB career-high (100) in innings pitched (104), and he threw just 74 1/3 innings last year while pitching almost exclusively out of the bullpen (plus another 3 1/3 innings at Oklahoma City). In 2016, he threw 100 innings with the Dodgers and 19 2/3 in the minors.
