This story will be updated when they do.Justin Wrobleski in Midst of Breakout YearWrobleski didn't open the year in the starting rotation, pitching four innings in relief in his first outing of the season.He then moved to the starting rotation, and has been dominant ever since.Entering Thursday night, Wrobleski had made 10 starts this season, going 7-2 with a 2.37 ERA across 64.2 innings. He's been a consistent presence in the back end of LA's rotation, keeping them afloat amid injuries to Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow.The Dodgers will hope Wrobleski isn't dealing with any serious injury and is able to make his next start. If not, the team could be forced to call up top prospect River Ryan, who's been dominating in Triple-A this season to the tune of a 2.81 ERA across seven starts.The Dodgers have decided against calling up Ryan thus far as he continues to work his way back from Tommy John surgery. However, he is more than ready to help the big league ball club, and could get the call if Wrobleski is forced to miss time.Sign up for our free newsletter and follow us on X/Twitter and Facebook for the latest news.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
