Justin Wrobleski Begins Rehab Assignment
On August 29, Justin Wrobleski completed a rehab assignment with AAA Oklahoma City.
He is expected to have a different role within the Dodgers pitching staff upon his reinstatement.
Wrobleski had a phenomenal first half of the 2026 season, which earned him an All-Star bid, but the end of July and August was rough for Wrobleski, as he started to give up far too many home runs.
Dodgers_After_Duty wrote (via X.com) about Wrobleski’s rehab assignment on Friday last week:
“Justin Wrobleski line from his first rehab relief appearance. 30 P / 18 S / 3 H / 1 ER / 0 BB / 1 K. 97 mph FB / 96 mph sinker / 90 mph slider.”
