"Snell is only now beginning his progression, but he could work through it and be available by May, and give his customary 100 or so innings. He'd still be good, he put up nearly 2 WAR of value last year in 61 1/3 innings, and over 3 WAR in 104 innings the year prior. But his absence will likely give Wrobleski a head start."
"...It looks like a nice, wide, stable arsenal with just enough strength on the fastballs to compete. Stability will be something that this Dodgers rotation may need as they encounter their yearly bouts with injury."
"Wrobleski made a middle-inning appearance against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday, and showed exactly why people are speaking of him so highly heading into this season. He pitched four innings, striking out five batters while facing the minimum."
Justin Wrobleski is expected to surpass Blake Snell's performance in 2026, as Snell will miss the start of the season due to injury. Wrobleski is on the Opening Day roster and will have more opportunities. Snell's absence gives Wrobleski a head start, and he has been refining his pitching arsenal. Wrobleski's strong spring performances, including a four-inning outing with five strikeouts, have impressed the Dodgers' management, leading to discussions about his role as a piggyback reliever and spot starter.
