Overview
- The Dodgers placed left‑hander Justin Wrobleski on the 15‑day injured list on Sunday for left forearm inflammation and recalled right‑hander Kyle Hurt to add a fresh bullpen arm.
- Wrobleski started Saturday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers and reached a career‑high workload of about 126 innings before the IL move.
- The southpaw has struggled since the All‑Star break, allowing 19 earned runs and 11 home runs across roughly 20 innings over his last four starts, which coincided with three straight losses.
- Manager Dave Roberts described the IL stint as precautionary and said the break should help the arm while the club evaluates moving Wrobleski into a bullpen role once injured starters return.
- With trade pickup Tarik Skubal in the mix and Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow and Shohei Ohtani nearing returns, the Dodgers expect to rebalance a taxed bullpen using off days on Aug. 20 and 24 while Glasnow finishes a rehab start this week.
