Glasnow allowed four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out eight over six-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Nationals on Saturday.

Glasnow wasn't able to keep the Nationals under control, but the Dodgers' offense picked him up in the late innings. Over three starts since he returned from back spasms, Glasnow has allowed eight runs with a 21:4 K:BB across 18 innings. He's at a 3.12 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 70:17 K:BB through 57.2 innings over 10 starts this season. The veteran right-hander is projected for a road start in Miami next weekend.

Wrobleski will start Sunday's series finale versus the Nationals, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

An earlier report indicated Wrobleski would be pitching behind an opener Sunday, but the southpaw now appears on track to make his 21st start of the season. Wrobleski had a great first half and was named to his first All-Star team, but he's had a rough go ever since, posting a 7.07 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 31:9 K:BB while serving up 12 homers over 28 innings spanning six outings since the break. Sunday's contest may end up being just a spot start for Wrobleski, as Roki Sasaki (finger) could come off the injured list as soon as next week. Wrobleski is also likely to have a workload restriction in place after he hadn't started since Aug. 15 and made one two-inning, 36-pitch relief appearance in his lone outing since coming back from the IL on Sept. 1.

Liberatore (5-14) allowed five runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.1 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Rockies.

Liberatore avoided giving up a home run for the first time in four starts, but shaky defense in the fifth inning ultimately brought his start to an early end. He's lost six straight starts and eight of his last nine, posting a 6.75 ERA over 45.1 innings since the All-Star break. On the year, he has a 5.57 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 144:49 K:BB through 139 innings over 28 starts. Liberatore is lined up to make his next start at home versus the White Sox.

Adams allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out seven over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Saturday.

Adams logged the highest strikeout total of his three starts so far, but his Coors Field debut was otherwise unimpressive. All three runs he allowed came on homers, as Joshua Baez hit a solo shot in the second inning and Ivan Herrera added a two-run blast in the fifth. Adams is now at a 3.95 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB through 13.2 frames in the majors. He's projected to make his next start at Detroit.

Pfaadt allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four batters over 6.1 innings in a no-decision against Houston on Saturday.

Pfaadt was behind 3-2 when he exited with one out in the seventh inning, but Arizona scored a run in the eighth to take him off the look for a loss. The right-hander finished with his second straight quality start and his seventh such effort across his past nine outings, a span during which he's posted a 2.47 ERA while going 3-1. Pfaadt will look to extend the strong stretch his next time out, which is projected to be a home tilt versus Texas.

Ashcraft (14-6) took the loss against the Angels on Saturday, allowing three runs on seven hits and no walks with nine strikeouts over five innings.

Ashcraft opened with three scoreless frames but stumbled late, departing with a 3-0 deficit at just 67 pitches. The 26-year-old has now yielded three earned runs or fewer in seven straight outings, but he's exceeded 90 pitches just once in that span and appears to be having his workload limited down the stretch. He owns a 3.65 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 173:35 K:BB across 165.1 innings this season and lines up for a road matchup with the Cubs next weekend.

Wrobleski is expected to serve as the Dodgers' primary pitcher behind an opener Sunday versus Washington, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Wrobleski was moved to a bullpen role upon his activation from the injured list Sept. 1, and he tossed two innings in relief against St. Louis that day. The left-hander hasn't appeared in a game since then, so his arm should be able to handle a hefty workload in the series finale versus the Nationals. The Dodgers haven't yet announced who will be opening Sunday's contest.

The Dodgers activated Miller (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Miller was placed on the IL near the end of spring training and began a minor-league rehab assignment in early August. Over seven games with Triple-A Oklahoma City, he posted a 3.86 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB over 14 innings. Six of those appearances came out of the bullpen, and that's expected to be Miller's role upon his return to the major-league club. To make room for Miller on the 40-man roster, Alek Thomas was designated for assignment, and to clear room on the active roster, Kyle Hurt was optioned to the minors.

Sasaki (finger) indicated that he felt good following a bullpen session Friday, MLB.com reports.

The Dodgers placed Sasaki on the injured list Aug. 27, one day after he developed a blister on his right middle finger during a start in Atlanta. He'll be eligible for activation Sept. 11, and Sasaki looks like he could be on pace to return that day. Sasaki will still likely need to complete at least one throwing session against live hitters before the Dodgers reinstate him.

Stone (shoulder) hasn't made a rehab appearance for Triple-A Oklahoma City since Aug. 26 due to a minor biceps injury, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Stone skipped out on a rehab start this week to recover from the injury, but the Dodgers are hopeful that he'll be able to make another appearance or two at Triple-A before returning from the 60-day injured list. Prior to the biceps issue cropping up, Stone had been magnificent through his first four rehab starts, posting a 1.54 ERA, 0.43 WHIP and 18:1 K:BB in 11.2 innings. Stone's stellar form at Triple-A looked to have put him in the mix to potentially enter the Dodgers' six-man rotation once activated, but the biceps injury makes it more likely that he works in relief if he's activated before the end of the regular season.
