The Dodgers are planning to select the contract of right-hander Wyatt Mills, according to Sonja Chen of MLB.com. Paul Gervase is being optioned to clear space on the active roster. Closer Edwin Diaz is being transferred to the 60-day injured list to make room on the 40-man roster, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register.
Mills has thrown a total of 42 innings in the Majors, all from 2021-22 with the Mariners and Royals. He has a 6.21 ERA in that time, as well as a 19.3% strikeout rate and a 10.4% walk rate. Those results are unspectacular and four years old at this point. Mills missed 2023-24 owing to July 2023 Tommy John surgery, finally returning to pitch for the Red Sox’ Triple-A affiliate in 2025. In 52 innings across 32 appearances (seven starts), Mills had a solid 3.12 ERA but less encouraging peripherals, including a 13.3% walk rate. He has been better in 2026 for the Dodgers’ top affiliate, with a 3.26 ERA and a 2.05 FIP in 19 1/3 innings.
More to come.
