The Dodgers recalled right-handed pitcher Paul Gervase and placed right-handed pitcher Tyler Glasnow on the injured list with low back spasms.
Glasnow, 32, left the game on Wednesday afternoon after allowing one run in one inning of work. Prior to his exit, he fanned Yordan Alvarez for his 1,000th career strikeout. He is 3-0 with a 2.72 ERA in seven games this season. He is in his 11th Major League season with stops in Pittsburgh (2016-18), Tampa Bay (2018-23) and Los Angeles (2024-), and he is 46-36 with a 3.69 ERA in 174 career games. He was drafted by the Pirates in the fifth round of the 2011 First Year Player Draft out of Hart High School in Santa Clarita, Calif.
Gervase, 25, is 2-0 with a 3.65 ERA in nine games for Triple-A Oklahoma City this year. Last season, he made one appearance for the Dodgers, tossing two innings, allowing one run and striking out two. Prior to joining the Dodgers, he made five appearances for the Tampa Bay Rays, recording an 0-0 mark with a 4.26 ERA. In five minor league seasons, he is 15-9 with a 3.21 ERA and 285 strikeouts in 185.1 innings. The 6-foot, 10-inch hurler was drafted by the New York Mets in the 12th round of the 2022 First Year Player Draft out of Louisiana State University.
With the rotation in flux, the Dodgers opted to have lefty Blake Snell start Saturday against the Braves, rather than have him play a final rehab game.
