Stults was selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 15th round of the 2002 Major League Baseball draft.

He earned his first Major League victory on September 10 at Shea Stadium as he held the New York Mets to just one run and two hits over 6.0 innings and 86 pitches, walking two and struck out three in the Dodgers' 9–1 win.

He was called up by the Dodgers to start the game against the Colorado Rockies on August 17, and struck out 9 batters en route to his first victory in 2007 after having thrown 7 innings and giving up only 2 runs, 2 hits, and a walk.

After an inconsistent stay in the majors in 2007, Stults was a long shot to make the Dodgers in spring training 2008 and was sent to Triple-A Las Vegas.

On June 25, 2008, Stults pitched his first Major League shutout, as well as complete game—as the Dodgers blanked the visiting Chicago White Sox, 5–0.

Early in the 2009 season, Stults replaced injured starting pitcher Hiroki Kuroda.

On May 15, 2009, Stults injured his thumb while making a toss on a bunt attempt by the Florida Marlins' Hanley Ramírez.

On March 30, 2010 Stults was sold to the Hiroshima Toyo Carp of Nippon Professional Baseball.

After the season, Stults re-signed with San Diego to a one-year deal worth $2.75 million.
