"The Dodgers have now confirmed that, while Wrobleski will be used in a piggyback role for the time being, he is expected to take some starts as well."
"With Yamamoto, Glasnow, and Ohtani locked into starting roles, the only other way for the Dodgers to get Wrobleski into their rotation the first week would have been to demote Sasaki."
"The injuries to Blake Snell and Gavin Stone also allowed the Dodgers to give Sasaki and Sheehan an extended runway to begin the season."
The Los Angeles Dodgers confirmed their five-man starting rotation for the season, including Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, Shohei Ohtani, Emmet Sheehan, and Roki Sasaki. Justin Wrobleski will serve in a piggyback role initially but is expected to start later. Ohtani is likely to start on March 31, with Wrobleski following. The rotation was influenced by injuries to Blake Snell and Gavin Stone, allowing Sheehan and Sasaki to secure spots despite spring struggles. River Ryan was optioned to gain more competitive experience.
