Back on roster for NLCS The Dodgers added Wrobleski to their roster for the NLCS against the Brewers, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The southpaw was left off the roster for the NLDS, but Los Angeles will shore up its pitching staff for the best-of-seven championship series. Wrobleski was a key rotation piece for much of the regular season before coming out of the bullpen for his final six appearances. He posted a 3.66 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 118:31 K:BB across 140 innings.

Impact Wrobleski most recently started Sept. 17 against the Reds and tossed three perfect innings, but the strong performance didn't result in him earning any additional turns through the rotation. With the Dodgers locked in as the No. 2 spot in the National League playoffs heading into Sunday's regular-season finale against the Giants, Wrobleski could be a candidate to cover multiple innings as a starter or bulk reliever as the team aims to rest most of its key pitchers for the postseason.

Drawing start Thursday Wrobleski is slated to start Thursday's game against the Reds in Cincinnati, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wrobleski hasn't worked more than two innings in any of his three appearances since returning from the 15-day injured list Sept. 1, so he's expected to operate as more of an opener than a traditional starter Thursday. The Dodgers plan to recall Landon Knack from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, and he'll likely be called upon to cover multiple frames out of the bullpen once Wrobleski exits the game.

Works in bullpen over weekend Wrobleski struck out a batter and allowed two hits and one walk over two scoreless innings of relief in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

Impact After making his previous appearance as a starter Sept. 6 versus the Nationals, Wrobleski shifted back to the bullpen for the Dodgers' weekend series in Miami. He ended up being called upon Saturday in relief of starter Tyler Glasnow, who was chased after yielding four runs across four innings. Assuming the Dodgers elect to maintain a six-man rotation through the end of the season, Wrobleski could have a chance to start or pitch bulk innings again next weekend versus the Giants. The Dodgers reopened a rotation spot after optioning Emmet Sheehan to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

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.

Dodgers Activate Will Smith, Justin Wrobleski And Dalton Rushing From IL

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.
