21+23 innings over 13 games with a 2.91 ERA. [4] He then made 23 starts for the 2023 Great Lakes Loons, with a 4–4 record and 2.90 ERA with 26 strikeouts. [4]

Wrobleski started 2024 with the Tulsa Drillers of the Double-A Texas League [5] and was promoted to the Triple-A Oklahoma City Baseball Club on June 22. [6] On July 7, the Dodgers purchased his contract and called him up to the majors to make his MLB debut with a spot start against the Milwaukee Brewers. [7] He allowed four runs in five innings in a loss, with four strikeouts, the first of which was of Willy Adames. [8] On August 16, Wrobleski picked up his first major league win against the St. Louis Cardinals. [9] On September 1, he allowed 10 runs in a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, which tied a Los Angeles Dodgers team record for most earned runs allowed in a single game. [10] On September 28, Wrobleski picked up his first career save against the Colorado Rockies after pitching four innings of relief. [11] On the season, he made six starts and two relief appearances in the majors with a 5.70 ERA. [12] Between Tulsa and Oklahoma City, he made 20 appearances (18 starts) for a 6–4 record and 3.76 ERA. [4]

In 2025, he was on the Dodgers active roster for Opening Day, but was optioned to Oklahoma City the following day, without appearing in a game. [13] He was called back up to make a spot start for the Dodgers on April 8 against the Washington Nationals. [14] He made one more start on June 6 and then transitioned into a relief role for the rest of the season. He finished 5–5 with a 4.32 ERA in 24 games with 76 strikeouts. [12] Wrobleski made the NL Wild Card roster against the Cincinnati Reds, but did not pitch. [15] He was then left off of the NLDS roster (along with pitcher Edgardo Henriquez) in favor of pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Anthony Banda, [16] but then was re-added to the roster after an injury to pitcher Tanner Scott. [17] He pitched five scoreless across four games in the 2025 World Series, allowing four hits while striking out six. [12] During Game 7 of the series, Wrobleski hit Andrés Giménez with a pitch, causing the benches to empty when Giménez took offense. Warnings were to be issued to both sides, but it ultimately did not factor into the rest of the game as the Dodgers won 5-4 in extra innings, making Wrobleski a world champion. [18]
