The Los Angeles Dodgers made adjustments to their pitching by recalling left-hander Justin Wrobleski and right-hander Michael Grove from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

The moves came a day after the Dodgers placed left-handed star Clayton Kershaw (toe) and right-handed reliever Joe Kelly (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list.

Los Angeles also recalled rookie outfielder Andy Pages from Oklahoma City and sent right-hander Ben Casparius to Triple-A after he earned a win in his major league debut on Saturday.

Starting Sunday, Major League rosters can add two players for the remainder of the regular season.

Wrobleski, 24, was scheduled to start Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks in his third appearance with the Dodgers since making his major league debut on July 7. He is 1-1 with a 4.68 ERA, nine walks and 18 strikeouts in 25 innings in five appearances. The win came in his last appearance on Aug. 16 in St. Louis.

Grove, 27, is 4-3 with a 5.18 ERA, 15 walks and 49 strikeouts in 41 2/3 innings over 33 games (two starts) for Los Angeles.

Pages, 23, made his major league debut on April 16. In 98 games, he posted a batting average of .246 with 22 doubles, nine home runs and 36 RBIs.

Casparius, 25, threw a scoreless eighth inning as the Dodgers beat the host Diamondbacks on Saturday. Casparius was briefly with Los Angeles earlier this month but did not play. In 14 games (13 starts) in Oklahoma City, he was 4-3 with a 3.30 ERA.
