The Los Angeles Dodgers recalled right-handed relief pitcher Paul Gervase from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday for his third stint with the team this season.
Gervase, 26, has a 1.80 ERA and five strikeouts across five innings in two appearances for the Dodgers this season.
He has a career 3.38 ERA with 13 strikeouts in 13 1/3 innings across eight major league appearances. In Triple-A in 2026, Gervase is 2-0 with a 3.60 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 25 innings across 19 games.
In a corresponding move, the Dodgers optioned left-handed pitcher Charlie Barnes to Triple-A. Barnes, 30, was called up Wednesday and took down the bulk of the innings in a planned bullpen game, which the Dodgers lost 7-1 to the A’s in Sacramento. Barnes allowed seven runs on 12 hits in seven innings with two strikeouts and two walks.
He has a 0-1 record with a 7.00 ERA in nine innings across three relief appearances for the Dodgers this season. He has played 13 games in parts of two seasons with the Minnesota Twins (2021), Chicago Cubs (2026) and Dodgers (2026), compiling a career 0-4 record with a 6.30 ERA in 50 innings.
