Overview
- On Sunday the Dodgers put left-hander Justin Wrobleski on the 15-day injured list for left forearm inflammation and recalled right-hander Kyle Hurt to bolster the bullpen.
- Wrobleski has struggled since the All‑Star break, surrendering double-digit home runs over his last several starts and allowing 19–20 runs across roughly 19⅔ innings in his last four outings.
- The left-hander has a career-high workload this season at about 126 1/3 innings, a jump that the team and analysts cite as a likely factor in his late-season fatigue and effectiveness drop.
- Manager Dave Roberts described the IL stint as not serious and framed it as a deliberate break to reduce Wrobleski’s arm load while the club waits for rotation reinforcements.
- The roster move gives the Dodgers an extra reliever immediately and sets up a likely decision on Wrobleski’s long-term role—starter or reliever—once Glasnow and Ohtani return and the rotation is healthy.
