FILE - In this Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2019 file photo, Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Ross Stripling delivers a pitch during a baseball game against the Baltimore Orioles in Baltimore. Stripling along with ten major leaguers won't be getting their twice-a-month paychecks during the abbreviated 60-game season. That's because the $286,500 in advance salary they received after opening day was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic is more than what they are owed from their prorated salaries.
