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: 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: 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: 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.

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
Rotowire
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: Escapes with first win
Rotowire
Wrobleski (1-1) allowed four earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings to earn the win in Friday's 7-6 victory over the Cardinals.
Wrobleski served up three home runs, but a Dodgers rally in the top of the sixth inning allowed him to come away with his first MLB win. He's given up multiple home runs in three of his five starts at the big-league level this season and owns a 4.68 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 18:9 K:BB through 25 innings. The Dodgers haven't disclosed whether Wrobleski will be in line for another start; he was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to replace the injured Tyler Glasnow (elbow) on the 26-man roster Friday, but Bobby Miller is expected to start Saturday's game and could displace Wrobleski in the process.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Officially recalled
Rotowire
The Dodgers recalled Wrobleski from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.
Wrobleski allowed just two runs in 10 innings over his last two starts in the majors, but he's given up seven runs in 10.1 frames since being sent down to Triple-A at the end of July. Tyler Glasnow (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move, and his absence could allow Wrobleski to stick around for several turns through the rotation.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
The Dodgers optioned Wrobleski to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Wrobleski did a solid job in his first four major-league starts, posting a 4.05 ERA and 15:7 K:BB over 20 innings. Someone needed to be sent down to make room for trade-deadline pickup Jack Flaherty, however, and the Dodgers have chosen to remove Wrobleski from the five-man rotation rather than fellow rookie River Ryan. The left-hander will rejoin the rotation at Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he's allowed five runs with a 17:3 K:BB across 10.1 frames this season.
Wrobleski allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out two batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Houston on Saturday.
Wrobleski cruised through five frames, holding the Astros scoreless on two hits. He then allowed consecutive singles to begin the sixth but rebounded to retire the next pair of batters before Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts decided to pull the southpaw after a modest 82 pitches. That decision didn't work out well for the Dodgers, as Evan Phillips came in and surrendered four consecutive singles, allowing both inherited runners plus two more to score. Wrobleski later lost the opportunity for his first big-league victory when Houston put up two runs in the eighth frame. Despite the disappointing outcome for the rookie, his start was promising overall, as he tossed a career-high 5.2 frames and came within one out of a quality start. With James Paxton's recent release, Wrobleski has a good chance of sticking in the rotation even when Walker Buehler (hip) returns from the injured list.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Allows two homers in no-decision
Rotowire
Wrobleski did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 11-9 extra-inning loss to the Tigers, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks with four strikeouts over five innings.
Wrobleski allowed two runs in the second inning and then two more on back-to-back homers to open the fifth. He generated only six swinging strikes on 84 pitches while leaning mostly on his fastball and slider. The rookie has surrendered eight runs (seven earned) and four long balls through his first two starts and his role moving forward depends on the health of the Dodgers' rotation after the All-Star break.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Goes five innings in MLB debut
Rotowire
Wrobleski dropped to 0-1 after giving up four earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings in Sunday's 9-2 loss to the Brewers.
In what was his big-league debut, Wrobleski had some impressive moments, which included touching 98 miles per hour with his four-seam fastball on one of his four punchouts. The lefty, who turns 24 later this week, pounded the zone and gave up a couple home runs on the day. His fastball averaged 95 mph, and he threw mostly cutters and sliders off the fastball while mixing in a few changeups. Manager Dave Roberts hinted after the game that while he was impressed with Wrobleski's poise and pitch efficiency, the Dodgers will make a move to call up a reliever to take Wrobleski's place on the roster before Tuesday's game against the Phillies. The Dodgers have five healthy starters besides Wrobleski, but Roberts noted that the young lefty will likely be back in the majors soon.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Promoted for MLB debut
Rotowire
The Dodgers selected Wrobleski's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City, and he'll start Sunday's game against the Brewers.
The 23-year-old lefty is one of the organization's top prospects and will make his way to the majors after being at the Triple-A level for less than a month. Wrobleski posted a 3.06 ERA and 1.04 WHIP over 13 starts for Double-A Tulsa to earn the promotion, and he allowed five earned runs with a 17:3 K:BB over his two outings with Oklahoma City.
