1 month agoThe Los Angeles Dodgers have optioned left-handed pitcher
Justin Wrobleski to Triple-A. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers selected
Matt Sauer's contract. Wrobleski enjoyed an impressive spring training as he posted a 1.93 ERA with a stellar 0.75 WHIP across nine 1/3 innings of work. He tallied nine punchouts while serving up just one free pass. The Oklahoma State product made his MLB debut last season and held a 5.70 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP across his first 36 1/3 MLB frames. Fantasy managers should expect Wrobleski to be in the mix to return to the major leagues later in the summer. At Triple-A, the southpaw has held a 5.46 ERA with a 1.86 WHIP across 28 innings. At Double-A, he held a solid 3.06 ERA with a 1.03 WHIP. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should monitor his development, as he will likely be promoted as a starting pitcher when he returns to Los Angeles.

2 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers starting pitching prospect
Justin Wrobleski tossed three shutout frames on Sunday afternoon against the Athletics. Wrobleski tallied three punchouts and did not allow a baserunner. This was a strong outing for Wrobleski as he is competing for a role on the major league roster. Last season, the 24-year-old made his MLB debut and posted a 5.70 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP across 36 1/3 innings of work. He appeared in eight games and started six of them. In the minor leagues, he spent time at both Double and Triple-A last summer. Across 67 2/3 innings at Double-A, Wrobleski held a strong 3.06 ERA with a 1.03 WHIP. However, when he moved up to Triple-A, he struggled as he posted a higher 5.46 ERA with a 1.86 WHIP. If he continues this strong performance in spring, he could earn a long relief role in the majors.

8 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that left-handed pitching prospect
Justin Wrobleski will make the start on Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals in the series opener at Busch Stadium. Wrobleski, the team's No. 6 prospect per MLB Pipeline, will make a spot start to allow the Dodgers to give an extra day of rest to right-hander
Tyler Glasnow. This will be the 24-year-old southpaw's fifth start in the big leagues this year. In his first four starts, he allowed 10 runs (nine earned) on 17 hits (four homers) while walking seven and striking out 15 in 20 innings pitched for a 4.05 ERA and 1.20 WHIP. Wrobleski is surely a gamble as a fantasy streamer, but the good news is that the Cardinals have found it hard to hit left-handed pitching in 2024.

9 months agoThe Los Angeles Dodgers optioned left-handed pitching prospect
Justin Wrobleski to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday to make room on the roster for right-hander
Jack Flaherty, who was acquired on Tuesday in a trade with the Detroit Tigers. Wrobleski, the team's No. 13 prospect per MLB Pipeline, held his own in his first four big-league starts, going 0-1 with a 4.05 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with 15 strikeouts and seven walks in 20 innings pitched. He allowed 10 runs (nine earned) while giving up 17 hits (four home runs). The 24-year-old southpaw will head back to the farm to continue his development while giving the Dodgers extra pitching depth down the stretch and for the postseason. Depending on the health of LA's rotation arms next year, Wrobleski could be in competition to open the year in the big leagues in 2025.
