Pitcher Ross Stripling announces retirement

Right-hander Ross Stripling announced his retirement from Major League Baseball on Monday after nine seasons.

Stripling, 35, requested and received his release from the Kansas City Royals in spring training after being informed he wasn’t going to make the Opening Day roster.

Stripling posted a 40-54 record with four saves and a 4.17 ERA in 248 career appearances (129) starts with the Los Angeles Dodgers (2016-20), Toronto Blue Jays (2020-22), San Francisco Giants (2023) and then-Oakland Athletics (2024). He was an All-Star with the Dodgers in 2018.
