Justin Wrobleski returns to Dodgers rotation following Eric Lauer injury

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Justin Wrobleski will start against the Washington Nationals on Sunday. The move follows an elbow injury to Eric Lauer earlier this week, forcing the team to reshuffle its pitching staff. Wrobleski previously served as a starter through July but moved to the injured list with forearm tightness in August. After a brief return as a reliever against the St. Louis Cardinals, the 26-year-old moves back into a starting role as the Dodgers aim to restore a six-man rotation. The team also plans to recall another starter on Monday for a matchup against the Cincinnati Reds. Wrobleski faces immediate pressure to perform, as competition for rotation spots remains high with Roki Sasaki nearing a return from a blister injury.
