Justin Wrobleski - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Lasts three frames in no-decision Wrobleski didn't factor in the decision Sunday against the Nationals after giving up four runs on eight hits and one walk over three-plus innings. He struck out six.

Impact The left-hander was shifted to the bullpen upon his return from forearm inflammation Tuesday, but he made just one relief appearance before retaking the mound as a starter. Wrobleski opened with three scoreless innings Sunday, but things fell apart in the fourth as he failed to retire any of the five batters he faced. The 26-year-old has surrendered six earned runs across five frames in his two outings since coming off the IL, and he now seems likely to shift back to the bullpen.

Now scheduled to start Sunday Wrobleski will start Sunday's series finale versus the Nationals, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact An earlier report indicated Wrobleski would be pitching behind an opener Sunday, but it now appears the southpaw will start the game for Los Angeles. That's a role Wrobleski is very familiar with, as 20 of his 22 appearances so far this season have come as a starter. Wrobleski had a great first half and was named to his first All-Star team, but it's been rough for him since, as he's posted a 7.07 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 31:9 K:BB while serving up 12 homers over 28 innings spanning six outings since the break. This may end up being just a spot start for Wrobleski, as Roki Sasaki (finger) could come off the injured list as soon as next week.

Slated to work in bulk relief Sunday Wrobleski is expected to serve as the Dodgers' primary pitcher behind an opener Sunday versus Washington, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wrobleski was moved to a bullpen role upon his activation from the injured list Sept. 1, and he tossed two innings in relief against St. Louis that day. The left-hander hasn't appeared in a game since then, so his arm should be able to handle a hefty workload in the series finale versus the Nationals. The Dodgers haven't yet announced who will be opening Sunday's contest.

Struggles out of bullpen in return Wrobleski allowed three runs (two earned) on two hits and one walk while striking out four batters over two relief innings during Tuesday's loss to St. Louis.

Impact Wrobleski was activated off the injured list Tuesday afternoon after recovering from a bout of left forearm inflammation. The left-hander worked out of the bullpen for the second time this season, entering in the seventh inning with Los Angeles down six runs. Wrobleski gave up a Joshua Baez solo homer in his first frame but did manage to strike out the side. He gave up two more runs -- one of which was unearned -- in the eighth and struggled with his control, walking one batter and uncorking a wild pitch. It's been a rough second half for Wrobleski, as he's followed his first career All-Star nod by posting a 7.07 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 31:9 K:BB over 28 innings across six second-half appearances. The long ball has been a huge problem during that span -- he's given up 12 homers, including multiple in three of those outings. Wrobleski figures to work in middle and long relief down the stretch, which will give him a chance to iron out his recent issues ahead of the postseason.

Off injured list The Dodgers reinstated Wrobleski (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact The left-hander landed on the shelf in mid-August due to forearm inflammation but is ready to rejoin the active roster after a single rehab appearance. Wrobleski has been a solid rotation piece for the Dodgers this year with a 3.56 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 100:28 K:BB over 126.1 innings, but he's poised to work out of the bullpen down the stretch.

Expected to start rehab assignment soon Wrobleski (forearm) is expected to join Triple-A Oklahoma City to begin a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact Wrobleski had a throwing session Wednesday, and he appears to have avoided any setbacks in his recovery from left forearm inflammation. The southpaw was placed on the 15-day injured list with the injury Aug. 16, and it's possible that he will require only one outing with Oklahoma City before returning to the major-league roster. Wrobleski is eligible to be activated from the IL on Tuesday, and upon his activation, he's expected to operate out of the bullpen moving forward this season with Los Angeles.

Set to face hitters Wednesday Wrobleski (forearm) will face hitters in a live batting practice session Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact If Wrobleski checks out fine physically following Wednesday's throwing session, he could be cleared to head out on a brief minor-league rehab assignment as soon as this weekend. Though he earned an All-Star nod and went 11-5 with a 3.56 ERA and 1.10 WHIP while working out of the Los Angeles rotation before hitting the injured list Aug. 16 due to forearm inflammation, Wrobleski will be ticketed for a multi-inning relief role upon his return now that Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow have both returned from extended injury-related absences.

Set to move to bullpen Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Wrobleski (forearm) will serve as a multi-inning reliever once he returns from the injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wrobleski has enjoyed the best year of his career this season, logging a 3.56 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 126.1 innings. Despite his strong numbers, the 26-year-old won't be able to hang on to his spot in the rotation once Tyler Glasnow (back) comes off the IL on Tuesday. He'll continue to provide value to the Dodgers as a reliever capable of handling 2-to-3 innings, but he likely won't make another start this year unless the team opts for a six-man rotation down the stretch or another injury strikes one of Los Angeles' starters.
