Overview
- Dreyer’s injury designation, announced Sunday, came with recalls of right-handers Paul Gervase and Chayce McDermott and the optioning of left-hander Charlie Barnes to Triple-A.
- Dreyer has been one of Los Angeles’ most relied-on arms, matching Tanner Scott for a team-high 20 appearances and posting a 2.08 ERA with 24 strikeouts in 21 2/3 innings.
- The 15-day stint sets a late-May eligibility to return, though shoulder problems often lead teams to move more slowly on a comeback.
- The bullpen picture was already strained as Edwin Díaz recovers from elbow surgery and Brusdar Graterol’s rehab was pushed back by a back flare-up reported by The Athletic.
- McDermott joins after an April DFA and trade from the Orioles and brings a 12.79 ERA in 12 2/3 MLB innings, while Gervase has made one three-inning appearance for the Dodgers this season.
