Possibly, Gervase is a one-day stopgap option as Glasnow gets moved to the injured list and Snell joins on Saturday.

There is no clear candidate to get demoted from the bullpen, with Kyle Hurt shining in his role. However, with him coming back from Tommy John surgery, the Dodgers could opt to move him down to limit his workload more and keep him healthy.

Unless there is an unknown injury, Gervase will likely just be joining the team for a day or two before returning to Oklahoma City.

Gervase’s impressive minor league 2026 start

Over nine relief appearances in 2026, Gervase has a 3.65 ERA in 12.1 innings of work. He has allowed six hits, five runs, and nine walks with 17 punchouts.

The skyscraping pitcher will certainly get more looks down the line after he is optioned down to the minor leagues if he keeps pitching in Triple-A like he is right now.

There will be other, last injuries that will hit the Dodgers and the organization clearly feels like he has a role with the team and factors into their plans.
