For the third day in a row, the Los Angeles Dodgers have made changes to their pitching roster, bringing up right-handed reliever Wyatt Mills from their Triple-A Oklahoma City team on Sunday. The move comes as the team sent right-hander Paul Gervase back down to the minors.
The 31-year-old Mills is preparing for his first appearance in a Dodgers uniform after joining the organization as a free agent in August following his release from the Boston Red Sox. During his time with Oklahoma City this season, Mills posted a 3-2 record with a 3.26 ERA across 14 relief outings. He struck out 28 batters while walking just seven in 19 1/3 innings of work.
Mills hasn’t appeared in a major league game since the 2022 season and carries a career record of 0-1 with a 6.21 ERA through 38 relief appearances with both the Seattle Mariners and Kansas City Royals. The right-hander was sidelined for two complete seasons after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2023.
Meanwhile, the 25-year-old Gervase had just made his 2024 season debut with Los Angeles on Saturday, allowing one run across three innings while striking out five batters. Throughout his brief major league career spanning seven appearances over the last two seasons, he maintains a 3.97 ERA.
