Dodgers pitcher Ross Stripling to test back in simulated game Saturday
Sidelined for more than two weeks with inflammation in his lower back, Dodgers pitcher Ross Stripling was scheduled to throw a simulated game Saturday that would be a final hurdle to clear before the team activates him from the disabled list.
Manager Dave Roberts indicated he was unsure if Stripling would throw one or two innings. The team had initially indicated Stripling would face hitters Friday but changed it based on the schedule. The team has a day off Monday before starting a two-game series in Texas.
