In addition, he has been dealing with an abductor injury that cut his time on the mound short. However, Miller is said to be on the &#8220;taxi squad&#8221; this weekend in case the Dodgers need coverage.<\/p>\n<p>A bullpen game, an option earlier in the season, isn&#8217;t now.

Glasnow has surpassed the number of innings he has ever pitched a season.

In his last start in the majors, the right-hander went 5 2\/3 innings against the Houston Astros. \u00a0He gave up two earned runs. The Dodgers would be happy with a quality start like that. Every win is important now as the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres are just two games back in the National League West.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Photo Credit: \u00a9 Jason Parkhurst-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers have called up Justin Wrobleski from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium tonight, according to manager Dave Roberts.
