The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to make a change in their pitching rotation, likely moving All-Star Justin Wrobleski to the bullpen. Following the return of Tyler Glasnow and Shohei Ohtani, Wrobleski and Eric Lauer are candidates to be removed from the rotation, with Lauer considered the more likely option. Wrobleski has struggled recently, posting a 9.88 ERA in his last three starts. While he has shown success as a starter with a 3.44 ERA this season, he is approaching career-high innings pitched, which has contributed to his recent downturn in performance.
