Jack Dreyer went on the injured list Sunday with shoulder discomfort, and the Dodgers responded by recalling Paul Gervase. victor mesa jr fits this Dodgers roster update as the club keeps cycling pitchers through a stretched staff.

Dodgers Roster Moves

Dreyer’s X-rays showed inflammation but no structural damage, and the Dodgers are hopeful he will need only the minimum stint. That gives the club some short-term relief, but the move still forced another bullpen adjustment.

Charlie Barnes, who had been recalled two days earlier to take Blake Snell’s place on the roster, was optioned after Dreyer went on the injured list. Chayce McDermott was recalled and then sent back to Triple-A a day later when the Dodgers signed free agent pitcher Jonathan Hernández.

Pitching Depth

Ben Casparius was transferred to the 60-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation, adding to the Dodgers’ pitching losses. Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell are also out, and the club has used 40 pitchers in back-to-back seasons.

For the Dodgers, Dreyer’s move is another test of how long the bullpen can keep absorbing changes without a clean reset. Paul Gervase gives them one more arm now, but the roster churn around him shows how thin the margin has become.
