Dreyer allowed one hit and struck out one without being charged for a run over one inning to earn the save in Friday's 5-3 win over the Nationals.
Seth Halvorsen was sloppy in a non-save situation, and Dreyer subsequently allowed two inherited runners to score before ending the threat. Since the start of August, Dreyer has allowed three runs on eight hits and eight walks while striking out 17 over 12.1 innings. He has earned two saves and three holds with a blown save and a 1-1 record in that span. Dreyer is at a 2.88 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 67:20 K:BB through 56.1 innings this season, filling a versatile role in a bullpen that has dealt with a number of injuries.

Dodgers' Jack Dreyer: Converts save Saturday
Rotowire
Dreyer allowed a hit and struck out one over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.
This was Dreyer's first save conversion of the year, and it came after the Dodgers reclaimed the lead following closer Edwin Diaz's second blown save in as many days. Over his last 20 games, Dreyer has covered 17 innings while allowing just three runs with a 22:7 K:BB. He's been steady with a 2.87 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 54:13 K:BB through 47 innings this season, adding seven holds and two blown saves while not seeing a lot of high-leverage usage. The left-handed Dreyer may continue to be used as a matchup specialist, but there's at least a hint of uncertainty in the bullpen hierarchy given Diaz's struggles since returning from an elbow injury.

Rotowire
The Dodgers activated Dreyer (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
The left-hander has been sidelined by shoulder soreness the past couple weeks but is ready to rejoin the big-league roster. Dreyer has a 2.08 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 24:6 K:BB with three holds across 21.2 innings this season and should reclaim a high-leverage role now that he's healthy.

Dodgers' Jack Dreyer: Won't go on rehab assignment
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Dreyer (shoulder) will not go on a rehab assignment and will be activated from the 15-day injured list when eligible June 1, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Dreyer landed on the 15-day IL in mid-May due to left shoulder discomfort. The extended rest appears to have been enough to warrant a minimum stint on the IL for the left-hander, who is tracking toward being available out of the Dodgers' bullpen for their series opener against the Diamondbacks on Monday. Prior to his injury, Dreyer posted a 2.08 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, three holds and a 24:6 K:BB across 21.2 innings.

Dodgers' Jack Dreyer: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Dodgers placed Dreyer on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to left shoulder discomfort.
According to Sonja Chen of MLB.com, Dreyer felt something in his shoulder while warming up Saturday, but medical imaging revealed nothing more than inflammation. The left-hander could be ready to rejoin the Dodgers bullpen after spending the 15-day minimum on the shelf. Dreyer has been a reliable bullpen piece for manager Dave Roberts with three holds and a 2.08 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 24:6 K:BB across 21.2 innings.

Dodgers' Jack Dreyer: Converts fourth save
Rotowire
Dreyer struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Giants.
Tanner Scott had a 23-pitch appearance Friday and was presumably unavailable for Saturday's game. The Dodgers had to dig deep in this game, with Alex Vesia also not pitching and Kirby Yates being deployed in the seventh inning, leading to Dreyer getting a rare chance to close a game out. He's up to four saves this season and has added 10 holds over 64 appearances. He's also pitched to a 2.80 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 72:22 K:BB through 74 innings, and he's allowed just two runs with an 11:1 K:BB over eight innings in September.

Dodgers' Jack Dreyer: Picks up third save
Rotowire
Dreyer earned the save in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Orioles, allowing one hit while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.
The Dodgers came into the day with a depleted bullpen, thus setting up Dreyer for the save chance. The 26-year-old left-hander preserved a three-run lead, picking up his third save this season, and his first since Aug 15. Dreyer has turned in five straight scoreless innings, striking out eight in that span. Overall, his ERA sits at 2.74 with a 1.06 WHIP and 65 strikeouts across 69 innings this season.

Dodgers' Jack Dreyer: Opening Tuesday's contest
Rotowire
Dreyer will serve as the Dodgers' opening pitcher in Tuesday's game versus the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Dreyer will draw his fourth opener assignment this season, after he previously allowed a total of four runs over 5.1 innings across his first three times opening a game. The southpaw hasn't been used out of the bullpen since last Wednesday and should be capable of giving the Dodgers anywhere between one and three innings before he exits the contest. Right-hander Matt Sauer is a good bet to serve as a bulk reliever for the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Dodgers' Jack Dreyer: Will be opening pitcher Monday
Rotowire
Dreyer will serve as the opening pitcher in Monday's tilt versus the Diamondbacks, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Dreyer has thrown as many as three innings in an appearance this season and went two frames his last time out versus the Angels, so he could offer more length than your typical opener. Landon Knack is slated to eat the bulk of the innings as the Dodgers' primary pitcher in the series opener.

Dodgers' Jack Dreyer: Mows down Phillies in relief
Rotowire
Dreyer struck out four while allowing no hits and issuing two walks over 2.1 scoreless innings of relief in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Phillies.
Added to the Dodgers' 40-man roster over the winter after a standout season at Triple-A Oklahoma City, the 26-year-old Dreyer continued to thrive during spring training and earned his spot in the Opening Day bullpen. He's looked strong through his five appearances thus far, most of which have come in middle relief. The lefty has allowed just one earned run and has struck out eight batters while holding opponents to an .080 average over 7.2 innings.

Dodgers' Jack Dreyer: Shielded from Rule 5 Draft
Rotowire
The Dodgers added Dreyer to the 40-man roster Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Dreyer appeared in 37 games with Triple-A Oklahoma in 2024, producing a 2.74 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with 52 strikeouts over 42.2 innings. The left-hander is just one step short of being a major-leaguer and he'll have a chance to prove himself with Los Angeles this spring in an attempt to crack the Opening Day roster.
