Tosses 5.1 frames in piggyback role
Dobbins allowed four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against the Cubs on Monday.
Analyse
As expected, Dobbins piggybacked starter Matthew Liberatore, who lasted only 3.2 innings while giving up three runs. Dobbins was the slightly more efficient and effective hurler, and he gave St. Louis more depth with 85 pitches to Liberatore's 67, though neither pitcher was particularly impressive. It remains to be seen how Dobbins will be deployed moving forward -- he could continue to piggyback Liberatore, but there's also a possibility he moves into the rotation if Liberatore continues to struggle or if another starter is traded before the deadline.

Piggybacking with Liberatore
Dobbins is expected to piggyback Matthew Liberatore in Monday's game against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Analyse
It had seemed as though Dobbins would draw another spot start this week, but instead he will follow Liberatore out of the bullpen in a tandem outing Monday. Dobbins tossed six shutout frames in a start last week against the Angels and holds a 3.18 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB across 28.1 innings with St. Louis this season. The righty could receive regular turns in the Cardinals' rotation soon if the club trades Dustin May at the deadline.

Staying in majors for now
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Thursday that Dobbins will remain with the major-league club for the time being, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Analyse
Dobbins tossed six shutout innings Wednesday versus the Angels in what had seemed likely to be just a spot start. He will remain with the big club for now and could get another turn in the rotation next week, though that seems dependent on whether the Cardinals need to use Dobbins' roster spot for a reliever between now and then. A possible trade of Dustin May before the deadline would also open up a rotation spot for Dobbins, who has authored a 3.18 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB across 28.1 innings with St. Louis.

Blanks Angels in spot start
Dobbins (2-1) earned the win against the Angels on Wednesday, allowing six hits and no walks while striking out five over six scoreless innings.
Analyse
Dobbins made a spot start and silenced the Angels over six frames, throwing 58 of 86 pitches for strikes with 12 whiffs. It marked the first quality start of the campaign for the 26-year-old, who owns a 3.18 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB across 28.1 major-league innings. It's unclear whether he will remain with the Cardinals or return to Triple-A Memphis.

Summoned for spot start
The Cardinals recalled Dobbins from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Analyse
Dobbins will make a spot start Wednesday on the road against the Angels as the Cardinals buy some extra rest for their regular rotation members. The right-hander has logged a 4.03 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with 23 strikeouts over 22.1 innings in five appearances (three starts) with the Cardinals so far this season. Dobbins will likely be sent back down to Memphis following Wednesday's outing.
