Justin Wrobleski DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect Justin Wrobleski was optioned to Triple-A on Wednesday. Wrobleski was given the starting nod on Tuesday evening against the Washington Nationals but struggled in this outing as he allowed eight hits and eight earned runs in just five innings of work. He struck out four batters and served up three free passes. Even with Blake Snell (shoulder) on the injured list, the Dodgers will opt for Wrobleski to continue his development with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Last summer, Wroblesk logged 36 1/3 innings in the major leagues and held a 5.70 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP. Through his first five 2/3 innings with Oklahoma City this season, Wrobleski did not allow a run and struck out three. As a result, Landon Knack should continue to see opportunities in the rotation.

The Los Angeles Dodgers recalled left-hander Justin Wrobleski from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, and he will make the start against the hosting Washington Nationals at Nationals Park. Right-hander Matt Sauer was optioned to Oklahoma City in a corresponding move. The 24-year-old southpaw will be making his first start of the 2025 season and just the seventh of his career after he debuted in the big leagues with the Dodgers in 2024. With lefty Blake Snell (shoulder) on the injured list, it's possible that Wrobleski will make more starts beyond Tuesday's outing. He was inconsistent last year with a 5.70 ERA (6.36 FIP) and 1.38 WHIP with 26 strikeouts and 16 walks in 36 1/3 innings over eight total appearances. Wrobleski looked good in his first start at Oklahoma City this year, tossing 5 2/3 scoreless innings. He could end up being a nice streaming sleeper.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have optioned left-handed pitcher Justin Wrobleski to Triple-A. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers selected Matt Sauer's contract. Wrobleski enjoyed an impressive spring training as he posted a 1.93 ERA with a stellar 0.75 WHIP across nine 1/3 innings of work. He tallied nine punchouts while serving up just one free pass. The Oklahoma State product made his MLB debut last season and held a 5.70 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP across his first 36 1/3 MLB frames. Fantasy managers should expect Wrobleski to be in the mix to return to the major leagues later in the summer. At Triple-A, the southpaw has held a 5.46 ERA with a 1.86 WHIP across 28 innings. At Double-A, he held a solid 3.06 ERA with a 1.03 WHIP. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should monitor his development, as he will likely be promoted as a starting pitcher when he returns to Los Angeles.
