“Will the Dodgers’ Season Hang in the Balance? Key Concerns Unfold Amidst Freeman’s Absence!”
Subpar starting pitching
When two-time Cy Young Blake Snell hit the IL on Sunday, that meant the Dodgers needed a fill-in arm for Tuesday’s game. That spot starter, Justin Wrobleski, was pulverized by the Nats for eight runs across five innings. Wrobleski was then promptly sent back to Triple-A, swapped out for right-hander Landon Knack, who started Wednesday because the Dodgers are limiting both Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki to one start per week. Knack surrendered five runs while managing to secure just seven outs. Only a stellar, scoreless, 6⅔ performance from L.A.’s bullpen ensured a win in the finale.
