ANAHEIM, Calif. — Reliever Jack Dreyer<\/a> became the latest Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> pitcher to be placed on their injured list Sunday.<\/p>\n

Dreyer is out with left shoulder discomfort. The back-to-back champion Dodgers recalled right-handers Paul Gervase and Chayce McDermott and optioned left-hander Charlie Barnes<\/a> to Triple-A Oklahoma City.<\/p>\n

Dreyer is the 12th pitcher and 14th player on the injured list for the Dodgers.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers also acquired left-hander Eric Lauer<\/a> from Toronto<\/a> in a trade for cash. The club moved long-injured reliever Brusdar Graterol to the 60-day disabled list to make room on the 40-man roster.<\/p>\n

Lauer made two scoreless appearances for the Blue Jays in the World Series against the Dodgers last fall to cap a solid 2025 season. He was designated for assignment last Monday after starting the new season 1-5 with a 6.69 ERA in eight appearances, including six starts.<\/p>\n

Dreyer is 2-1 with a 2.08 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP while pitching 21 innings, tops among Dodgers relievers this season. He pitched one scoreless inning last Friday in the Dodgers’ 6-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dreyer joins closer Edwin Diaz<\/a> and high-priced starters Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow on the shelf with recent injury problems for the Dodgers, who are having another year of extraordinary pitching turnover because of injuries.<\/p>\n

Several other potential contributors to the Dodgers’ big league staff have yet to pitch in a game this season because of significant injuries. Despite it all, the Dodgers began Sunday with the majors’ third-lowest team ERA at 3.26.<\/p>\n

Gervase pitched one inning for the Dodgers on May 9 in his only outing this season. The 6-foot-10 right-hander has appeared in seven major league games in his career.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers acquired McDermott from Baltimore in a trade last month. He made five major league appearances over the previous two seasons with the Orioles.<\/p>\n

Barnes pitched one scoreless inning apiece Friday and Saturday at Angel Stadium in his debut with the Dodgers.<\/p>\n
