The Los Angeles Dodgers may soon be adding a towering new presence to their bullpen: Paul Gervase, the tallest pitcher in franchise history. Standing at an imposing 6'10", the right-hander has been making waves in the minor leagues, and recent signs suggest a call-up could be imminent.

Gervase has been assigned a locker in the Dodger Stadium clubhouse ahead of their series against the Atlanta Braves—a clear hint that a roster move might be in the works. While the Dodgers boast incredible pitching depth, the team is navigating some injury concerns and rotation adjustments that could open a door for the big righty.

The most immediate candidate for a roster shuffle is Tyler Glasnow, who exited his last start after just one inning due to back tightness. Manager Dave Roberts has downplayed the severity, noting the team is unlikely to place Glasnow on the injured list, but imaging is still being conducted. Meanwhile, Blake Snell is set to rejoin the rotation on Saturday, which will require another active roster move.

One scenario: Gervase could serve as a short-term stopgap, perhaps covering a day or two while Glasnow's status is sorted and Snell is activated. Alternatively, the Dodgers might consider sending down Kyle Hurt, who has impressed in his bullpen role but is returning from Tommy John surgery. Managing his workload could be a priority, making a temporary demotion a possibility.

Unless there's an undisclosed injury, Gervase's stay in the majors may be brief—likely just a day or two before heading back to Triple-A Oklahoma City. But the fact that the organization is giving him a locker speaks volumes about his place in their plans.

Through nine relief appearances in 2026, Gervase has posted a 3.65 ERA over 12.1 innings, allowing six hits and five runs while striking out 17 batters. His control remains a work in progress (nine walks), but his high-velocity arsenal and sheer size make him a fascinating weapon out of the bullpen.

With the Dodgers' inevitable injury waves throughout a long season, Gervase is positioning himself as a reliable option. If he continues to dominate in Triple-A, expect to see this skyscraping pitcher back in Dodger blue sooner rather than later.
