Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Expected to be fine for next start
Rotowire
Manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Wrobleski (hamstring) is expected to be able to make his next start, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Wrobleski was removed from Thursday's start against the Pirates after taking a comebacker off his leg, and he was later diagnosed with a hamstring contusion. Both Roberts and Wrobleski said they don't anticipate the injury to affect the left-hander's ability to make his next start, which is lined up for next week against the Rays.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Dealing with hamstring injury
Rotowire
Wrobleski suffered a right hamstring contusion in Thursday's contest against the Pirates, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.
Wrobleski exited the game with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning after taking a liner off the bat of Bryan Reynolds to his right thigh. It's now understood to be a hamstring contusion, and the 25-year-old's availability for his next turn through the rotation will likely depend on how his body recovers over the next few days. Wrobleski can be considered day-to-day for the time being ahead of his next tentative start against Tampa Bay.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Exits early with potential injury
Rotowire
Wrobleski exited Thursday's contest against the Pirates in the fifth inning due to an apparent injury, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.
Wrobleski took a line drive off his thigh with two outs in the bottom of the fifth frame, and although he attempted to cover the bag on what ended up being a single for Bryan Reynolds, manager Dave Roberts ultimately decided to remove the pitcher. The southpaw finished his day having tossed 4.2 innings, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one batter. More information on Wrobleski's status will likely be provided in the near future.
Wrobleski tossed six scoreless innings against Arizona on Thursday, allowing six hits and striking out four batters without issuing a walk in a no-decision.
The southpaw again pounded the strike zone and pitched to contact, throwing 61 of 84 pitches for strikes and notching a modest seven whiffs. Wrobleski picked up his second straight quality start and has now registered four outings of six-plus innings and zero runs this season. He has twice yielded five-plus runs in a start, but he's also given up zero or one run on seven different occasions. That adds up to a very nice 2.62 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 7-2 record along with a 44:14 K:BB through 68.2 frames spanning 11 appearances (10 starts). While his lack of big strikeout numbers dings his fantasy appeal, Wrobleski has been a nice surprise, especially given that he entered 2026 without a guaranteed spot in the rotation.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Dominant in seventh win
Rotowire
Wrobleski (7-2) allowed a run on one hit and struck out nine without walking a batter over seven innings to earn the win over the Phillies on Friday.
Wrobleski served up a solo shot to Kyle Schwarber in the sixth inning, but that was it. There were some ups and downs for Wrobleski in May -- he won three of five starts and allowed a total of 15 runs over 32.2 innings in those games. The southpaw's dominant outing Friday has him at a 2.87 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 40:14 K:BB through 62.2 innings over 10 appearances (nine starts) this season. His next start is projected to be on the road versus the Diamondbacks.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Takes second loss of season
Rotowire
Wrobleski (6-2) was tagged with the loss Friday against the Brewers after allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks across five innings. He struck out four.
Wrobleski endured a rough start to the game, allowing four runs in the first inning, including a three-run shot to William Contreras. The lefty would allow just one run the rest of the way, but the damage was already done against one of the hottest offenses in the NL of late. Wrobleski has been trending in the wrong direction, giving up 14 runs (including three homers) in 19.2 frames over his past three outings. His next start should come next week in a favorable home matchup against the Rockies.
Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Strong bounce-back effort for win
Rotowire
Wrobleski (6-1) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five over six innings to earn the win over the Angels on Saturday.
Wrobleski allowed seven runs over 8.2 innings against Atlanta in his previous start, but he kept the Angels off the board for five innings Saturday before allowing a two-run double to Jorge Soler in the sixth. Wrobleski has been a pleasant surprise early this season with a 2.49 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 27:12 K:BB across 50.2 innings through eight appearances (seven starts). The southpaw's starting role is safe as the Dodgers look set to temporarily transition to a five-man rotation in the absences of Tyler Glasnow (back) and Blake Snell (elbow). Wrobleski is projected to make his next start on the road at Milwaukee.
Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Nearly goes distance in loss
Rotowire
Wrobleski (5-1) allowed seven runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out seven over 8.2 innings to take the loss versus Atlanta on Sunday.
Wrobleski gave a bullpen-saving performance despite struggling at times. Atlanta tagged him for four runs in the second inning, and he also gave up solo home runs to Drake Baldwin and Matt Olson among the three runs he allowed over the last two frames. Prior to Sunday, Wrobleski had allowed just five total runs over his first six outings. He threw 67 of 100 pitches for strikes in this start. The 25-year-old southpaw still has a strong 2.42 ERA with a 0.99 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB across 44.2 innings over seven games (six starts). He's lined up for a more favorable matchup on the road versus the Angels in his next projected start.
Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Moves to 5-0 with win Sunday
Rotowire
Wrobleski (5-0) earned the win Sunday against the Cardinals, allowing six hits and one walk with no strikeouts across six shutout innings.
The soft-throwing lefty generated just four whiffs on 83 pitches but got the Cardinals to hit the ball at his defense. Wrobleski doesn't miss bats but continues to get results, as he's won five straight starts, allowing just two runs across 32 innings in that span. He's in the bottom one percent in whiff rate, which severely caps his fantasy upside. Wrobleski is making it tougher on the Dodgers to take him out of the rotation once Blake Snell (shoulder) is ready for his season debut in the coming weeks. Wrobleski owns a microscopic 1.25 ERA and 15:10 K:BB across 36 innings.
Wrobleski (4-0) earned the win Sunday, allowing four hits and four walks over six scoreless innings in a 6-0 win over the Cubs. He struck out six.
Wrobleski kept the Cubs' bats quiet, turning in his third consecutive quality start and fourth straight win. After recording just nine strikeouts through his first four outings, the 25-year-old notched a season-high six punchouts Sunday. While strikeouts haven't been a major part of his profile this season, Wrobleski has pitched to a stellar 1.50 ERA and 0.97 WHIP across 30 innings (five appearances) in 2026.
Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Logs another quality start
Rotowire
Wrobleski (3-0) earned the win over Colorado on Monday, allowing one run on eight hits and no walks while striking out three batters over seven innings.
Wrobleski gave up a run in the first inning but was unscored upon thereafter. As has been the case all season, he pitched to contact, notching just five whiffs and three punchouts. That approach has been quite successful so far for the southpaw, as he's paired an uninspiring 9:5 K:BB through 24 innings with an exceptional 1.88 ERA and 0.88 WHIP along with a 3-0 record. Wrobleski has also finished with a quality start in each of his past two outings and has more than justified his spot in the Dodgers' rotation during the absence of Blake Snell (shoulder), who is likely still at least a month away from being activated off the injured list.
Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Shuts down Mets on Monday
Rotowire
Wrobleski (2-0) tossed eight scoreless innings Monday, allowing two hits and striking out two batters in a win over the Mets.
Wrobleski cruised through his eight frames, needing just 90 pitches and yielding only two baserunners. He carried a perfect game into fifth inning, when Jorge Polanco tagged him for a single -- and was promptly wiped out on a double play. The only other Mets player to reach base against the lefty was Francisco Alvarez, who singled with two outs in the eighth. Wrobleski is theoretically in the Dodgers' rotation only temporarily, as the team is in the midst of a stretch of 12 games in 13 days and is still without Blake Snell (shoulder). With that being said, it may be difficult for the team to favor the struggling Roki Sasaki over Wrobleski in the rotation if both pitchers continue to pitch as they have so far -- Sasaki has a 6.23 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 15:10 K:BB through 13 innings, while Wrobleski has posted a 2.12 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 6:5 K:BB across 17 frames.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Sticking in rotation
Rotowire
Wrobleski is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Mets at Dodger Stadium, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
As expected, the Dodgers will keep a six-man rotation in place during the upcoming week, clearing the way for Wrobleski to make a second straight start. After making his season debut in long relief March 30 versus the Guardians, Wrobleski scooped up a win in his first start of 2026 last Monday in Toronto while holding the Blue Jays to one earned run on two hits and four walks across five innings.
