Justin Wrobleski Expected to Pitch on Sunday
Justin Wrobleski is expected to pitch in Sunday's series finale against the Kansas City Royals, but it's unclear if he'll be given the starting nod or if he'll serve in a bulk-relief role. The most likely outcome is that Wrobleski will pitch in bulk relief, as he's been more successful in that role with a 1.96 ERA and 0.87 WHIP with 19 strikeouts and only two walks in 18 1/3 innings. The 24-year-old southpaw is 3-2 in total in 29 1/3 innings pitched with a 4.91 ERA (3.76 FIP), 1.23 WHIP and 28:8 K:BB in his second year in the big leagues. Although Wrobleski does have higher-end velocity for a left-handed pitcher, fantasy managers should be able to find better deep-league streamers for Sunday's slate of action. He's gone at least 4 1/3 innings in each of his six big-league outings for L.A. this year. The Royals offense has the fourth-lowest OPS (.664) in baseball.
