According to the Dodgers X account, they are activating southpaw reliever Jack Dreyer from the Injured List:
“The Dodgers activated LHP Jack Dreyer from the injured list and optioned RHP Paul Gervase.”

Jack Dreyer has been a prominent lefty reliever for the Dodgers for the last couple of seasons, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see Dave Roberts throw him in a leverage spot as soon as possible.
As for Paul Gervase being optioned, he has pitched five innings with the Dodgers this season and surrendered just one earned run in that span. Gervase has been serving as the ‘extra pitcher’ on the Dodgers’ 40-man roster for when one of their regulars goes down with injury. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him recalled shortly if Los Angeles endures other pitcher injuries.
