Dobnak didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 8-5 loss to the Pirates, giving up four runs on seven hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out one.

The right-hander needed 74 pitches (46 strikes) to record 11 outs in his shortest outing of the season. Dobnak appears to be running out of steam, and over his last five starts he's stumbled to a 5.60 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB through 27.1 innings while serving up five homers, including a two-run shot by Brandon Lowe on Friday. Dobnak will look to wrap up his campaign in style, as he's set to face the White Sox at home next week.

Dobnak (3-4) took the loss against the Red Sox on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks with four strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Dobnak departed in a 1-1 tie with two outs and two men on in the sixth inning, but he was saddled with the loss after both inherited runners came around to score. It ended a streak of three straight games in which the 31-year-old completed six frames, but he's still yielded three earned runs or fewer in 11 of 13 outings this season. He'll take a 2.73 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 47:23 K:BB across 69.1 innings into a road matchup with the Pirates next weekend.

Dobnak (3-3) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out three.

A solo home run by Josh Smith in the sixth inning left the lone blemish on Dobnak's line in an otherwise excellent performance. The right-hander has been a reliable presence in Kansas City's injury-riddled rotation, giving up more than one run just four times across his 12 outings. He'll take a 2.54 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 43:23 K:BB over 63.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the Red Sox.

Dobnak (2-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Marlins, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings.

Dobnak threw 54 of 87 pitches for strikes and surrendered homers to Graham Pauley and Kyle Stowers. He came out for the seventh inning but allowed three consecutive hits, resulting in two runs scoring before exiting and another eventually being charged to him. The six runs were his most in any of his 16 MLB appearances since 2021. Across nine starts and two relief appearances this season, Dobnak owns a 2.65 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 40:23 K:BB over 57.2 innings. He's slated to face Toronto in his next trip to the mound.

Dobnak (2-2) took the loss against the Blue Jays Wednesday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out five.

Dobnak made one mistake to Nathan Lukes, giving up a three-run homer for the only runs of the game, and is without a win in his past four starts. The 31-year-old Dobnak has pitched well since entering the Kansas City rotation in July, as he has a 1.92 ERA in 10 appearances, though his 1.37 WHIP and 34:21 K:BB through 51.2 innings are less encouraging figures. The right-hander tentatively lines up to make his next start at homer versus Miami.
