Justin Wrobleski Leaves Dodgers Game After Leg Is Caught on Play at First

Following two fifth-inning home runs, his removal leaves his short-term availability unclear pending team medical updates.

Overview

  • Wrobleski was removed in the fifth inning after a ground ball bounced off him and the back of his leg became caught while he covered first base.
  • He surrendered two home runs in that fifth inning after struggling with command earlier in the start.
  • The box score from the outing shows six hits allowed, two walks and one strikeout, though his velocity was reported higher than usual.
  • Reliever Will Klein entered after Wrobleski and allowed two hits and a walk, shrinking the Dodgers’ 5-0 lead to 5-4 by the end of the inning.
  • Wrobleski appeared visibly upset when taken out and the team has not released a diagnosis, so his availability for upcoming starts will depend on further medical updates.
