"Manager Dave Roberts stated, 'Obviously, ideally, you'd like to carry none. Truth be told, I don't want any of those (types of) guys. When you're a starter, part of the deal is you've got to log innings.'"
"Sasaki and Sheehan both pitched a total of nine innings through their first two starts, with each failing to record an out in the fifth inning during one of those outings."
"With Wrobleski moving into the rotation, the Dodgers also won't have anyone in their bullpen who can go three innings or more if one of their starters has a shorter outing."
The Los Angeles Dodgers are adding Justin Wrobleski as a sixth starter alongside Emmet Sheehan and Roki Sasaki. All three pitchers have potential but face risks due to shorter outings. Manager Dave Roberts emphasizes the need for starters to log innings consistently. Sheehan and Sasaki have struggled to pitch deep into games, with both failing to complete five innings in some starts. Wrobleski's limited experience adds pressure on the bullpen, as no long-relief options are available if starters underperform.
