Dodgers turn to Wrobleski as Ohtani injury status remains unclear

The Los Angeles Dodgers will use Justin Wrobleski as their starting pitcher Sunday in the series finale against the Washington Nationals, marking his return to the rotation after a forearm injury and a brief demotion when Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow returned. Wrobleski, an All-Star earlier this season, has struggled since the All-Star break and could make only a spot start with Roki Sasaki potentially returning from the injured list next week. The Dodgers are also managing a series of health and rest concerns, including Shohei Ohtani’s biceps, neck and knee injuries, Dalton Rushing’s elbow discomfort and Max Muncy’s illness. Ohtani has resumed taking swings, but manager Dave Roberts said the priority is his health as the team weighs whether to place him on the injured list. Los Angeles enters the finale after Tommy Edman’s go-ahead three-run homer secured a 6-5 win over Washington.
