"He's doing it a different way in the sense of he's always on the attack, "Doesn't walk many guys, puts the ball in play. I like his rhythm and pace of play. "For me, I think there's a performance piece you can't argue. He's been very good for a good bit of time. I think for me, it's just keep the blinders on, and things will take care of themselves as long as he continues to perform."
"Despite opening the year in the bullpen, the Dodgers have indicated Wrobleski is viewed as a starter long-term. That's especially noteworthy with Blake Snell returning Saturday, though for the time being there doesn't need to be anyone squeezed out of the rotation because of Tyler Glasnow landing on the 15-day injured list. Otherwise, one of team's starters was looking at the prospect of demoted to a relief role."
"Such a decision was - and eventually may - be between Emmet Sheehan and Wrobleski as the Dodgers have maintained Roki Sasaki won't be moved to the bullpen. In the meantime, Wrobleski's next start is Sunday in the series finale against the Atlanta Braves."

Justin Wrobleski has produced a breakout start to his Dodgers season after joining the starting rotation full-time less than two weeks into the regular season. In six games with five starts, he is 5-0 with a 1.25 ERA, 3.22 FIP, and 1.00 WHIP over 36 innings. As a starter, he has allowed only two earned runs in 32 innings. The Dodgers view him as a long-term starter, even with Blake Snell returning and Tyler Glasnow on the injured list. The team does not need to demote anyone immediately, though future bullpen or rotation decisions could involve Emmet Sheehan and Wrobleski. His strikeout totals are not high, but he is keeping games close and allowing the defense to make plays.
