Wrobleski is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Tigers in Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie southpaw will make a second turn through the rotation despite a so-so performance in his MLB debut this past Sunday. While taking a loss to Milwaukee, Wrobleski struck out four over five innings while giving up four runs on five hits and two walks. A matchup with a poor Detroit offense represents a good spot for Wrobleski to deliver an improved performance, but regardless of how he fares against the Tigers, he may not be guaranteed any starts beyond this weekend. The Dodgers could get Tyler Glasnow (back) and/or Walker Buehler (hip) back from the injured list immediately after the All-Star break, and Wrobleski would likely be the Los Angeles pitcher most at risk of losing his rotation spot in such a scenario.

Wrobleski (0-1) gave up four earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four in five innings Sunday against the Brewers. He took the loss.
EDGE Analysis
This was Wrobleski's big-league debut, and he had some impressive moments, which included touching 98 mph with his four-seam fastball on one of his four punchouts. The lefty, who turns 24 later this week, pounded the zone (64.5 Zone%, 70.0 Strike%) and gave up a couple home runs on the day. His fastball averaged 95 mph and he threw mostly cutters and sliders off the fastball while mixing in a few changeups. Manager Dave Roberts hinted after the game, per Amie Cuevas, that while he was impressed with Wrobleski's poise and pitch efficiency, the Dodgers will make a move to call up a reliever to take Wrobleski's place on the roster before Tuesday's game against the Phillies. The Dodgers have five healthy starters besides Wrobleski, but Roberts noted that they'd be seeing the young lefty back in the majors soon.
