Overview
- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday the club selected right-hander Wyatt Mills and optioned Paul Gervase after transferring closer Edwin Díaz to the 60-day injured list to open a roster spot.
- The bullpen has covered 18 1/3 innings over the last three games after Tyler Glasnow left Wednesday’s start with back spasms and Blake Snell’s short outing in his early return from rehab.
- Paul Gervase threw a career-high three innings on Saturday against the Braves, logging 50 pitches in mop-up duty before being sent back to Triple-A.
- Roberts signaled further shuffling by noting the team would probably add another arm to boost short-term coverage.
- Mills, 31, posted a 3.26 ERA with 28 strikeouts and seven walks in 19 1/3 innings at Triple-A this year, and his next outing would be his first MLB appearance since 2022 after Tommy John surgery wiped out 2023 and 2024.
