  "account": "Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Justin Wrobleski, 26, is regaining strength in his injury recovery and is currently pitching against batters prior to the Dodgers' game against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. The left-hander, who suffered a forearm injury, was placed on the injured list on August 16 after allowing 20 runs over his four most recent starts, following a strong performance in his first All-Star Game in July. Wrobleski made 15 appearances for the Dodgers before his injury, posting a 2.69 ERA, and had the most wins on the team with 10. Since then, however, his ERA has risen to 3.56, and he has doubled his home run count with 19. Despite his struggles, Wrobleski's progress in his recovery is promising for the Dodgers, as he will undoubtedly contribute to a strong pitching staff. The team has already welcomed back starting pitchers Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell, and Shohei Ohtani may return as soon as Sunday. Additionally, established pitchers Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tarik Skubal, and Roki Sasaki ensure a competitive rotation for the remainder of the year. If Wrobleski can regain his early-season form, he could transition into a high-leverage bullpen role, similar to his 2025 postseason performance, where he pitched five scoreless innings during the Dodgers' World Series title run.",
