Dodgers option Emmet Sheehan, call up Paul Gervase

The Los Angeles Dodgers optioned pitcher Emmet Sheehan on September 14, 2026, following his strong start against the Miami Marlins. Sheehan allowed no runs in six innings during his last outing but will head back to the minors after the team's bullpen struggled late in the game. Paul Gervase has been called up to reinforce the bullpen, which is in need of stability as star closer Edwin Diaz continues to work through challenges in the minors. Gervase has posted a 2.35 ERA with eight strikeouts in 7.2 innings this season, although he has struggled with walks. Manager Dave Roberts emphasized the importance of improvement for the bullpen to maintain postseason aspirations.
