Emmet Sheehan has been recalled by the Dodgers to start against the Astros after being optioned to the minors just a day prior. Manager Dave Roberts indicated Sheehan could be a long-term starter due to his strong performance in his season debut, where he recorded six strikeouts and one earned run over four innings. The decision to option Jack Little, who pitched a scoreless inning in a recent game, was made to retain Justin Wrobleski for bullpen depth.
Emmet Sheehan was optioned just a day after making his first MLB start since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2023. The Dodgers' decision to send the right-hander back down to the minors came as a surprise, but Roberts revealed the team opted to keep Justin Wrobleski with the big league team in order to provide length to an overworked bullpen.
Roberts acknowledged Sheehan deserves to be a mainstay in the Dodgers rotation, and his call up could signify the right-hander will be a starter long-term this season.
Jack Little tossed a scoreless inning in L.A.'s 6-4 loss to the Astros Saturday. He also recorded one strikeout in his 9-pitch performance.
Sheehan was tasked with facing the San Diego Padres lineup in his season debut. He allowed one earned run on three hits across four innings of work.
