Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Demoted after rough start
Rotowire
The Dodgers optioned Wrobleski to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
One day after getting called up to start Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Wrobleski will be swapped off the active roster for right-hander Landon Knack, who will be recalled to fill the other opening in the Los Angeles rotation. The Dodgers expanded to a six-man rotation this week due to the injury to Blake Snell (shoulder) and for the purpose of giving Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki extra days of rest between starts, but Wrobleski doesn't look as though he'll be in line for an extended stay with the big club. The Dodgers will look to break in a new sixth starter next week after Wrobleski was rocked for eight earned runs on eight hits and three walks over five innings en route to taking a loss Tuesday in his 2025 debut in the majors.

Rotowire
Wrobleski (0-1) yielded eight runs on eight hits and three walks over five innings Tuesday, striking out four and taking a loss against Washington.
Wrobelski struggled out of the gate, coughing up a two-run homer to James Wood in the first inning. The Nationals plated three runs in the second and three more in the fourth, capped off by another Wood home run. Wrobelski posted a 5.70 ERA over 36.1 MLB innings in 2024. It's unclear if he'll stick with the big club or head back to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The Dodgers recalled Wrobleski from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
Wrobleski will start Tuesday against the Nationals and could earn additional opportunities while Blake Snell (shoulder) is sidelined.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Set to start Tuesday
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Wrobleski will be called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Tuesday's game against the Nationals in Washington, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Wrobleski and Landon Knack will both join the Dodgers this week to fill the two openings in the rotation caused by Blake Snell (shoulder) landing on the 15-day injured list and by the team electing to add a sixth starter to the mix. The 24-year-old lefty previously made eight appearances (six starts) for the Dodgers in 2024, going 1-2 with a 5.70 ERA,1.38 WHIP and 26:16 K:BB across 36.1 innings. Wrobleski was sharp in his lone outing for Oklahoma City this season, striking out three over 5.2 scoreless innings last Tuesday.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Dodgers optioned Wrobleski to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Wrobleski didn't pitch in the first game of the Tokyo Series but excelled during spring training, allowing just two earned runs while striking out nine batters over 9.1 innings. He'll now end up as the odd man out of the Dodgers' active roster to make room for Matt Sauer, who was selected from Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Excels in spring start Sunday
Rotowire
Wrobleski pitched three perfect innings, striking out two batters in a Cactus League contest against the Athletics on Sunday.
Wrobleski allowed just two balls to leave the infield, as he induced five groundouts to go along with his two punchouts. The southpaw contributed six starts among eight regular-season appearances in his first taste of the majors last year and posted a 5.70 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 26:16 K:BB over 36.1 innings. Wrobleski's opportunities with the big club in 2024 were precipitated by a rash of injuries to the team's pitching staff, and he's likely to begin 2025 at Triple-A.
Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Picks up four-inning save
Rotowire
Wrobleski picked up the save over the Rockies on Saturday, allowing two hits and two walks over four scoreless innings while striking out four.
Wrobleski relieved Yoshinobu Yamamoto to open the sixth inning and went 1-2-3 through the top of Colorado's lineup before allowing each of the first two men to reach in the seventh. However, the southpaw was able to work his way out of the jam without taking any damage and managed to close out the contest for Los Angeles to pick up his first save of the campaign. It was a strong effort for Wrobleski, who was just recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City earlier that day, as he was able to eat up innings and help to provide additional rest for the Dodgers' bullpen ahead of the playoffs.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
Wrobleski was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.
He picked up a four-inning save Saturday, so Wrobleski won't be available to pitch for a couple days. The 24-year-old lefty logged a 5.70 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 26:16 K:BB in 36.1 innings with the big club this season and will retain his prospect eligibility heading into 2025.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Recalled from OKC
Rotowire
The Dodgers recalled Wrobleski from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.
Wrobleski owns a 6.40 ERA and 1.42 WHIP through 32.1 major-league innings on the year, though his numbers are heavily inflated by a 10-run outing he endured Sept. 1 against Arizona. He'll return to Los Angeles to give the Dodgers a fresh multi-inning option out of the bullpen, replacing Ben Casparius.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Returns to Triple-A
Rotowire
Wrobleski was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.
The left-hander was called up from Oklahoma City on Friday and will return to the minors after delivering two scoreless innings out of the bullpen Saturday against Cleveland. Wrobleski has a 6.40 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 22:14 K:BB across 32.1 frames in the big leagues this season.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Back in big leagues
Rotowire
The Dodgers recalled Wrobleski from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.
With Gavin Stone (shoulder) landing on the injured list, Wrobleski may be needed for a start this weekend against the Guardians. Wrobleski has made six starts for the big club this season, pitching to a 6.82 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 30.1 innings. He's a work in progress, but Wrobleski's numbers at Double-A this season (3.06 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 62:13 K:BB in 67.2 innings) demonstrate the lefty's potential.
The Dodgers optioned Wrobleski to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Wrobleski was pummeled for 10 runs over 5.1 frames in a start Sunday in Arizona. He was filling the rotation spot vacated by Clayton Kershaw (toe), and it's not clear what the Dodgers plan to do the next time Kershaw's spot comes up. They could summon another spot starter or perhaps go to a five-man rotation for one turn.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Left out to dry Sunday
Rotowire
Wrobleski (1-2) allowed 10 runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out two over 5.1 innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Diamondbacks.
Wrobleski completed five frames for the fifth time in six major-league starts, but this was an arduous effort. He gave up an eight-run rally in the second inning, a solo shot to Eugenio Suarez in the third and one more run in the sixth before his exit. Wrobleski is now at a 6.82 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 20:11 K:BB across 30.1 innings in the majors this year. With none of the Dodgers' injured starters expected back before mid-September, Wrobleski is likely to get at least one more start in the majors, which lines up to be at home versus the Guardians.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Called up ahead of start
Rotowire
The Dodgers recalled Wrobleski from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Diamondbacks.
Wrobleski initially looked like he might only be in store for a spot start Sunday, but he could have the opportunity to stick around for a few turns through the rotation after Clayton Kershaw (toe) landed on the injured list Saturday. Over his previous five starts with the big club this season, the rookie southpaw turned in a 4.68 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 18:9 K:BB across 25 innings.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Starting Sunday

The Dodgers will recall Wrobleski from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.
Through the first five starts of his MLB career, Wrobleski has put up a 4.68 ERA and 1.20 WHIP alongside an 18:9 K:BB through 25 innings. He's now set to receive another chance to prove he can stick around in a Dodgers rotation that has been plagued with injuries, though he'll have the tough task of facing a Diamondbacks offense that boasts an incredible .850 OPS since the start of August.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Heading back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Dodgers optioned Wrobleski to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.
Wrobleski picked up his first big-league win Friday against the Cardinals, although it was not his best big-league start to date, as he surrendered three home runs in five innings. Bobby Miller will be the latest addition to the rotation, but given all the injuries the Dodgers have suffered, it's possible Wrobleski returns as a big-league starter again this season.
