Get the latest on Justin Wrobleski's major league debut as he steps up for the Los Angeles Dodgers in a spot start against the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are reportedly calling in reinforcements for a spot start on Sunday against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Justin Wrobleski is going to make his major league debut, according to multiple league sources. He has emerged as one of the fastest-rising prospects and will have a locker at Dodger Stadium after just two Triple-A appearances. The 23-year-old's progression as a professional has been incredible considering the Dodgers drafted him in the 11th round of the 2021 draft when he was coming off Tommy John surgery. The lefty has a fastball in the upper 90s to go along with a cutter, a curveball, and a changeup.In 13 starts between Double-A and Triple-A, Wrobleski has a 3.23 ERA and opposing hitters are hitting just .239.
Instead of taxing the bullpen with more innings, the Dodgers decided it would be better to call someone up. Wrobleski plugs an immediate short-term hole and gives the rest of the rotation an extra day of rest.Maren Angus-Coombs was born in Los Angeles and raised in Nashville, Tenn. She is a graduate of Middle Tennessee State and has been a sports writer since 2008. Despite growing up in the South, her sports obsession has always been in Los Angeles.
