Tap title to read story
ANAHEIM — Reliever Jack Dreyer was placed on the Los Angeles Dodgers’ injured list Sunday after reporting left shoulder discomfort; the team recalled right-handers Paul Gervase and Chayce McDermott and optioned left-hander Charlie Barnes to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Dreyer had worked 21 2/3 innings this season with a 2.08 ERA and 0.97 WHIP.
The roster move adds to a string of pitching injuries that have sidelined Edwin Díaz, Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow, prompting the Dodgers to acquire left-hander Eric Lauer from Toronto and move Brusdar Graterol to the 60-day injured list; manager Dave Roberts also cited scheduled days off aiding Shohei Ohtani’s offensive production this week.
