Asked to pick up the slack when Clayton Kershaw went on the disabled list, Ross Stripling is now expected to stick around even when Kershaw returns from biceps tendonitis Thursday. Stripling will take the mound against the Phillies on Wednesday, helping to lead the charge of a resurgent Dodgers' rotation that has guided the club to nine victories in 11 games prior to Tuesday's 6-1 loss to Philadelphia. Stripling (2-1) has done his part over five starts this season, delivering a 1.74 ERA in 41 1/3 innings.
