Dodgers recall LHP Justin Wrobleski amid staff injury crush
In a corresponding move, right-hander Landon Knack was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Wrobleski, 24, was 1-1 with an 8.00 ERA in two appearances (one start) with Los Angeles earlier this season. Still considered a rookie, he was 1-2 with a 5.70 ERA in eight games (six starts) last season.
The Dodgers have been in scramble mode with injuries throughout their pitching staff, including three starters from their Opening Day pitching staff who are out with shoulder issues: Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow and Roki Sasaki.
Knack, 27, is 3-2 with a 5.12 ERA in nine appearances (seven starts). In Thursday's start against the New York Mets, he issued a career-high five walks and tied a career high with three home runs allowed.

Jake Paul's next fight against pound-for-pound star on Netflix is revealed after talks with Anthony Joshua broke down
Jake Paul will take on Gervonta 'Tank' Davis on November 15th in an exhibition live on Netflix. The Youtuber-turned-boxer had been in talks over a possible showdown with Anthony Joshua but that has not materialised. Instead, Paul will be facing a smaller opponent in the 5ft 5in American on November 14. 'Tank' has never been defeated as a professional and has held the WBA lightweight title since 2003. The 30-year-old will be giving up a significant height and weight advantage against 6ft 1in Paul. Paul responded to confirmation of the fight on X by writing: 'Gervonta has been disrespecting my name for too long. 'His nickname might be Tank, but I'm an FPV drone and I'm about to disable tiny boy. Yes, he's 1 of the top pound-for-pound boxers in the world, but my motto is anyone, anytime, anyplace, against all odds. The 5ft 5in Gervonta Davis will be the opponent for Paul, who stands at 6ft 1in 'And I like my odds. First, I am going to kill David, then I will go on to slaughter Goliath.' Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) and Netflix announced the fight, which will take place at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Davis may be small of stature but packs a punch having knocked out twenty eight of his thirty one opponents to date. He is a controversial character, previously accused of domestic violence in 2023 by Vanessa Posso, who is the mother of Davis' daughter. Posso has since publicly withdrawn her abuse allegations. In July, he was arrested again on a domestic violence charge. As seen in jail records obtained by Daily Mail, Davis is now facing a battery charge after being arrested in the early hours of Friday, June 15 in Miami Beach, Florida. In his latest defense Davis retained the WBA lightweight title via a controversial majority draw against Lamont Roach Jr. Prior to that result, he was No 8 in the pound-for-pound list and among the very best boxers in the world. His fight with Paul will not place that belt on the line and is purely an exhibition, following on from Paul's clash with Mike Tyson in November 2024. It remains to be seen whether the AJ fight will still materialise next year, though it appears Paul is confident. His reference to going on to 'slaughter Goliath' seems to clearly reference his intention to face the Brit, which would no doubt be his biggest and most dangerous challenge.

According to KDKA TV, Pittsburgh are ready for an expansion that will see their capacity growing from 5,500 to over 15,000.
