Justin Wrobleski DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced on Friday that they recalled left-hander Justin Wrobleski from Triple-A Oklahoma City and optioned right-hander Landon Knack to Oklahoma City in a corresponding move. Wrobleski will make the start in Friday's series opener at Busch Stadium against the St. Louis Cardinals in what will be just his eighth start in the big leagues since debuting in 2024. Fantasy managers should be looking to stay away from the 24-year-old southpaw as a streamer in St. Louis. He had a 5.09 ERA in 40 2/3 innings at OKC in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League and allowed eight earned runs on nine hits (two homers) while walking three and striking out eight in nine innings over his two outings (one starts) for L.A. earlier this year. Wrobleski's strikeout rate leaves plenty to be desired, and he could head right back to the minors after this spot start.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have optioned left-handed pitching prospect Justin Wrobleski to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Wrobleski was tasked to pitch four innings of relief on Thursday but will now return to Triple-A. In this contest against the Athletics, the left-hander performed quite well, logging four one-hit innings. He did not allow a walk and struck out four batters. During his first outing of the season, Wrobleski allowed eight runs and eight hits across five innings against the Nationals. Last season, the No. 10-ranked prospect in the system held a 5.70 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP across 36 1/3 innings of work. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his production at Triple-A, as he should be in the mix to return to Los Angeles later in the summer.

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.
