Wrobleski allowed five runs on seven hits and a hit batsman while striking out seven over six innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Tuesday.
Wrobleski was done in by the long ball Tuesday, giving up four homers that accounted for all five runs against him. He has allowed multiple homers just three times all season, and he had given up a total of four long balls across his previous seven starts combined. Consider this outing an anomaly for now -- Wrobleski's performance this season has earned him the benefit of the doubt. He's at a 2.88 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 87:21 K:BB through 112.2 innings over 18 games (17 starts). The southpaw is tentatively projected for a home start versus the Red Sox over the weekend.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Notches 11th win
Rotowire
Wrobleski (11-2) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over 6.1 innings in a 2-1 victory over the Phillies. He struck out seven.
The left-hander got tagged for a run in the bottom of the first inning after a Bryce Harper double and an Alec Bohm single, but Wrobleski shut down the home squad for the rest of his outing, eventually leaving the mound after 89 pitches (59 strikes). The quality start was Wrobleski's 12th of the year and his fifth straight, a stretch in which he's delivered a 1.89 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 35:5 K:BB in 33.1 innings. He's set to make his next start at home early next week against the Mariners.
Wrobleski allowed one run on six hits and two walks while striking out nine over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Tuesday.
Wrobleski has gone at least six innings in six of his last seven games, earning six quality starts in that span. He was denied a fourth straight win after Will Klein and Jack Dreyer combined to squander the Dodgers' lead in the eighth inning. Wrobleski continues to roll with a 2.69 ERA on the year, complemented by a 1.02 WHIP and 73:20 K:BB through 100.1 innings. While his overall strikeout rate is just fine at 7.8 K/9, he's logged 20 strikeouts over his last two starts.
Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Season-high 11 strikeouts in win
Rotowire
Wrobleski (10-2) allowed three runs on seven hits and struck out 11 without walking a batter over seven innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Tuesday.
Wrobleski's 11 strikeouts were a career high. He was excellent in June, allowing nine runs over 30.2 innings with a 24:4 K:BB. He's won his last three starts and hasn't taken a loss since May 22 in Milwaukee. The southpaw is now at a 2.80 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 64:18 K:BB through 93.1 innings over 15 appearances (14 starts) this season. Wrobleski is projected to make his next start at home versus the Rockies.
Wrobleski (9-2) earned the win over Minnesota on Tuesday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three batters over seven innings.
Wrobleski gave up a pair of runs over his first three innings but kept the Twins out of the scoring column over his final four frames. As per usual, he pitched to contact -- notching just nine whiffs and three punchouts -- but that formula has worked well for him this year. Despite a modest 53:18 K:BB through 86.1 innings, Wrobleski has made a strong case for an All-Star bid, as he's tied for second in MLB in victories, ranks 10th with a 2.71 ERA and places ninth with a 1.01 WHIP. The left-hander is also tied for 10th with nine quality starts and has five such performances over his past seven outings.
Wrobleski (8-2) allowed three hits and struck out five without walking a batter over six shutout innings to earn the win over the Rays on Tuesday.
Wrobleski was efficient in this start, throwing 50 of 67 pitches for strikes in a strong showing of command. Shohei Ohtani's solo shot in the bottom of the sixth inning was all the help he needed, and the Dodgers' bullpen preserved the lead to give Wrobleski his first win in three starts in June. He's allowed four runs over 16.2 innings this month while adding a 10:2 K:BB. The southpaw is at a 2.72 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 50:16 K:BB through 79.1 innings over 13 appearances (12 starts) in a breakout campaign. Wrobleski is projected to make his next start in Minnesota.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Ready to start Tuesday
Rotowire
Wrobleski (hamstring) is listed as the Dodgers' probable starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Rays in Los Angeles, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Wrobleski sustained a right hamstring contusion during his most recent start in Thursday's win over the Pirates, but manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence after the game the left-hander wouldn't need to miss a turn through the rotation. Roberts' prediction has come to pass, with Wrobleski seemingly being able to make it through his between-starts bullpen session with no complications. Though his 15.5 percent strikeout rate on the season has been one of the lowest marks among all starting pitchers, Wrobleski has delivered a 2.95 ERA and 1.05 WHIP over 73.1 innings. He's earned some of his success by walking just 5.4 percent of the batters he's faced, but Wrobleski has been the beneficiary of a .243 BABIP and a 77.9 percent strand rate, both of which will be tough for him to sustain over the course of the season.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Expected to be fine for next start
Rotowire
Manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Wrobleski (hamstring) is expected to be able to make his next start, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Wrobleski was removed from Thursday's start against the Pirates after taking a comebacker off his leg, and he was later diagnosed with a hamstring contusion. Both Roberts and Wrobleski said they don't anticipate the injury to affect the left-hander's ability to make his next start, which is lined up for next week against the Rays.

It's now understood to be a hamstring contusion, and the 25-year-old's availability for his next turn through the rotation will likely depend on how his body recovers over the next few days. Wrobleski can be considered day-to-day for the time being ahead of his next tentative start against Tampa Bay.
