Justin Wrobleski Recalled, Edgardo Henriquez Optioned

The Los Angeles Dodgers made a pair of roster moves in their bullpen before Sunday’s rubber match against the Boston Red Sox, which included recalling Justin Wrobleski from Triple-A Oklahoma City and optioning Edgardo Henriquez.

Blake Treinen was also activated off the 60-day injured list and Will Klein was optioned as well.

Henriquez heads back to the Minors just under one week after getting recalled. He joined the Dodgers roster on July 21, at which point Lou Trivino was designated for assignment.

Henriquez appeared in three games, pitching 2.1 scoreless innings. Though, a throwing error when he inherited bases-loaded jam allowed all three runners to score. In some sense that wound up being the difference in the Dodgers’ 10-7 loss to the Minnesota Twins.

“He just rushed it,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the game. “I thought he threw the baseball well tonight. I put him in a spot that I particularly didn’t love, but it was kind of a byproduct of how Will threw the baseball tonight.

“I don’t think he realized that he didn’t have as much time as he thought, or waited for the hop, it was spinning, and to try to recover. But I think that’s an outlier play. I thought it Edgardo threw the baseball really well tonight, so I think, for me, I hope, that’s what he’s building off of.”

Henriquez had his 2025 season delayed due to an off-the-field incident that resulted in a broken left foot. That cost the young right-hander an opportunity to be on the Dodgers’ Opening Day roster as they wound up dealing with multiple injuries within their bullpen.

Justin Wrobleski back with Dodgers

As the Dodgers continue to be connected to searching for relief pitchers before the MLB trade deadline on July 31, Wrobleski figures to provide a boost in that area.

Wrobleski has a 4.50 ERA and 40 strikeouts in 40 innings across eight games (two starts) for the Dodgers this season. The left-hander made four consecutive appearances of allowing two earned runs or fewer before struggling against the Houston Astros on July 5.

He was optioned to Oklahoma City two days later as a matter of circumstance leading into the All-Star break.

Wrobleski has gone 2-1 with a 4.18 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 11 games (10 starts) for the Comets this year. Wrobleski last pitched for Oklahoma City on July 19, when he allowed just one unearned run over six innings.

He was scheduled to start on Friday but got scratched from the outing in anticipation of joining the Dodgers.
