Dodgers Send Pitcher Emmet Sheehan Back to Triple-A Just 3 Days After His Return
The move came three days after Sheehan returned to help a bullpen weakened by Edwin Díaz’s injury, while Gervase was recalled for his fourth stint.
- On Friday, the Los Angeles Dodgers optioned right-hander Emmet Sheehan to Triple-A Oklahoma City and recalled fellow right-hander Paul Gervase before their series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Dodger Stadium.
- Los Angeles had initially summoned Sheehan just three days earlier to bolster a bullpen thinned by Edwin Diaz's placement on the injured list with neck inflammation.
- Gervase rejoins the roster for his fourth stint this season, holding a 2.35 ERA across 7 2/3 major league innings. The 6-foot-10 right-hander provides the club with a fresh, multi-inning arm for a taxed relief corps.
- This shuffle addresses a bullpen unsteady for months, with Blake Treinen on the 60-day injured list and Justin Wrobleski sidelined. Manager Dave Roberts has relied on Tanner Scott, Evan Phillips, Alex Vesia, and Jack Dreyer to manage the workload.
- The Dodgers enter the weekend at 77-51, leading the National League West by nine games while chasing the Milwaukee Brewers for the top overall seed in the National League.
