Dodgers Limit Justin Wrobleski's Workload After Six Scoreless Innings

Dave Roberts said the left-hander was removed as a precaution because he had only four days of rest to help protect his arm for the postseason.

Overview

  • Wrobleski delivered six scoreless innings with three hits and five strikeouts in a 1-0 win against the Rays on Tuesday but was removed after 67 pitches.
  • Manager Dave Roberts confirmed the decision was a planned workload limit tied to Wrobleski having just four days' rest between starts.
  • Wrobleski accepted the move and said he expects to pitch until the team takes him out while appreciating the club's focus on arm protection.
  • The Dodgers' bullpen finished the game with Will Klein, Kyle Hurt and Tanner Scott combining for three perfect innings to preserve the victory and Wrobleski improved season marks to a 2.72 ERA and an 8-2 record.
  • The decision fits a broader Dodgers plan to space starters up to six days when possible, a strategy that uses roster depth to lower injury risk and keep pitchers fresh for September and October play.
