The Los Angeles Dodgers placed left-hander Jack Dreyer on the 15-day injured list Sunday with left shoulder discomfort, while right-handers Paul Gervase and ​Chayce McDermott were recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

In ‌more pitching moves, the Dodgers optioned left-hander Charlie Barnes to Triple-A and acquired left-hander Eric Lauer from the Toronto Blue Jays for cash considerations.

Dreyer, 27, is tied for the Dodgers’ lead in ‌appearances ​with left-hander Tanner Scott at 20. ⁠The second-year pitcher is ⁠2-1 with a 2.08 ERA and has 24 strikeouts in 21 2/3 innings.

In his two seasons, Dreyer is 5-3 with a 2.76 ERA in 87 appearances (five ​starts) and did not allow a run in four appearances in last year’s postseason, including two appearances in ⁠the World Series against the ⁠Toronto Blue Jays.

Gervase, 25, went three innings ​in his lone appearance for the Dodgers this season on ​May 9 and allowed one run.

McDermott, 27, is ‌set to make his Dodgers debut after he was acquired from the Baltimore Orioles on April 16 for minor league right-hander Axel Perez. He had a 12.79 ERA ⁠in five appearances with the Orioles from 2024-25.

Barnes, 30, has made two scoreless relief appearances for Los Angeles this season, ⁠including a one-inning ‌outing Saturday against the Los Angeles ⁠Angels.

Lauer, 30, was designated for assignment by ​the ‌Blue Jays last week after going 1-5 ​with a ⁠6.69 ERA in eight appearances (six starts). To add Lauer to the 40-man roster, right-hander Brusdar Graterol (shoulder/back) was moved to the 60-day IL.

The Dodgers have a pair of starters on the injured list: right-hander Tyler Glasnow (back) and left-hander Blake ​Snell (elbow).
