Player Outlook
Blake Treinen was forced to miss the 2023 season after undergoing shoulder surgery in November 2022, but he'll remain with the Dodgers after they exercised his $1 million club option for the upcoming campaign. The 35-year-old started a minor-league rehab assignment last August, but it was paused after just three appearances and 2.1 innings due to soreness in his shoulder. Due to the setback, it's unclear whether the veteran righty will be healthy in time for spring training. Los Angeles clearly values Treinen's experience in high-leverage situations, but he'll first need to get past his shoulder issues and prove he can still pitch at a high level to earn a role in the 2024 bullpen.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Begins season on IL

    The Dodgers placed Treinen on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a bruised lung. Treinen made the trip to South Korea for Los Angeles' opening series against the Padres, but he will have to wait until at least April to make his first appearance since 2022. Manager Dave Roberts previously said he expected Treinen to make the Opening Day roster, so it's likely Treinen will only be on the IL for the minimum 15 days. Landon Knack was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Traveling with team to Korea

    Manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Treinen (chest) will travel with the Dodgers to South Korea for their season-opening series against the Padres next week, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. Roberts added that he expects Treinen to be included on the Dodgers' Opening Day roster. Treinen threw 15-to-20 pitches during a bullpen session Wednesday and seemed encouraged by his performance. The Dodgers don't play any more Cactus League games before their matchup against San Diego, so Treinen may still need to throw a simulated game before making his first regular-season appearance since 2022, but he at least appears to be trending in the right direction since suffering a bruised lung last weekend.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Completes bullpen session

    Treinen (lung) said he completed a bullpen session Wednesday consisting of 15-to-20 pitches, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. Treinen, who is recovering from a bruised lung, seemed upbeat after the session, but he wouldn't disclose whether he'll be available for the Dodgers' two-game season-opening series in South Korea versus the Padres on March 20 and 21. Since Wednesday's game against the Mariners marked the Dodgers' final Cactus League contest before the Seoul Series, Treinen may need to prove his health in a simulated game or a minor-league spring game before making the trip to South Korea.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Dealing with bruised lung

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Treinen has a bruised lung but was cleared of any fractures to his ribs after undergoing X-rays, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports. Treinen sustained the injury Saturday when he took a comebacker off his chest in his Cactus League appearance against the Rangers. Roberts said Sunday that Treinen's bruised lung isn't as serious as it sounds, and the Dodgers are still preparing for the veteran reliever to play catch Monday and throw a bullpen session Wednesday. If Treinen checks out fine following the side session, he could be available for the Dodgers' season-opening series in South Korea versus the Padres on March 20 and 21.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Removed early Saturday

    Treinen was removed from his spring appearance Saturday against Texas with an apparent injury, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Treinen went down after getting hit by a comebacker but was able to walk off the field under his own power. The ball appeared to hit Treinen in his midsection, so it's possible he simply had the wind knocked out of him, but the Dodgers will take a closer look and offer an update on his status in the near future.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Tosses one frame in spring debut

    Treinen (shoulder) pitched a scoreless inning in a Cactus League game against the White Sox on Tuesday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter. This was a significant outing for Treinen, as he didn't pitch in the majors at all last season and hurled just 3.1 minor-league frames after undergoing shoulder surgery in November 2022. The veteran reliever entered in the sixth inning Tuesday and began his outing by giving up a single to Gavin Sheets but rebounded with a punchout and two infield popouts. Treinen's successful outing further puts him on track to be ready for the Dodgers' opening series in Korea that begins March 20.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Likely available for Korea series

    Treinen (shoulder) is trending toward being on the active roster for the team's March 20-21 series versus the Padres in South Korea, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Treinen made just five appearances in 2022 due to right shoulder surgery and had only three rehab outings in 2023. However, he's made progress since then and is evidently throwing without restrictions this spring. Treinen was one of the best relievers in baseball prior to his surgery, but he'll need to show his stuff is all the way back before the Dodgers trust him in high-leverage spots again.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Working toward return

    Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said Saturday that Treinen (shoulder) is trending toward a return in 2024, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports. It remains unclear whether Treinen will be able to pitch in spring training games, but it's relatively positive news for the 35-year-old right-hander. Treinen missed the entire 2023 campaign after undergoing surgery on his shoulder in November 2022, and he was lit up for three runs in 1.1 innings at Triple-A Oklahoma City before being pulled off his rehab assignment.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Team option picked up

    The Dodgers exercised Treinen's (shoulder) team option for 2024 on Sunday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. Treinen was forced to miss the 2023 campaign after undergoing shoulder surgery in November of 2022, but he'll remain with the club for the 2024 season following Sunday's move. His rehab assignment was paused in early September after he experienced soreness in his shoulder, and it's unclear whether he'll be back to full health in time for spring training next year.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Rehab assignment paused

    Treinen's rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City has been paused after he felt soreness in his surgically repaired right shoulder after his last appearance Tuesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. Treinen was roughed up for three runs while recording just one out in the outing. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts had already referred to Treinen as a "long shot" to return this season even before this setback, so this might cinch it. Treinen had surgery in November of 2022 to repair the labrum and rotator cuff in his right shoulder.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Doubtful to return this year

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Treinen (shoulder) remains a "long shot" to pitch in the majors this year, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. Treinen made his minor-league rehab debut with a 1-2-3 inning Tuesday in the Arizona Complex League and will now move on to Triple-A Oklahoma City, but it sounds like the Dodgers have no intention of rushing him back. Granted, there are still five-and-a-half weeks left in the 2023 regular season and the outlook could change if he continues to pitch well on the farm. The veteran reliever required surgery in November of 2022 to repair the labrum and rotator cuff in his right shoulder.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Begins rehab assignment

    Treinen (shoulder) began a rehab assignment Tuesday in the Arizona Complex League, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports. Treinen has been sidelined all year following offseason shoulder surgery, but he's on the right track now with a return to live appearances in the ACL. In his rehab debut Tuesday, he retired the side in order on two strikeouts and a flyout. The veteran reliever could become an option for the Dodgers' bullpen sometime around early-to-mid September if he continues to prove his health and effectiveness on the farm.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Throws simulated game

    Treinen (shoulder) threw a one-inning simulated game Wednesday at the Dodgers' spring training complex in Arizona, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports. Treinen had touched only 86-87 mph during recent bullpen session, but he hit 94 mph during Wednesday's session after making some delivery tweaks. "Blake was 100th percentile," manager Dave Roberts said. "It was a lot more than we anticipated." Treinen has multiple hoops he still needs to jump through as he works his way back from last November's shoulder surgery, but he and the club are hopeful that he can rejoin the bullpen sometime in September.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Cleared to start throwing program

    Treinen (shoulder) has been cleared to begin a throwing program Monday. He'll play catch for the first time since undergoing right shoulder surgery in November. Treinen is hoping to make it back at some point late this season, but he could very well be out until 2024.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Aiming to pitch this season

    Treinen (shoulder) told Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic on Wednesday that he wants to pitch this season. Treinen made only six total appearances between the regular season and postseason last year and then required surgery in November to repair the labrum and rotator cuff in his right shoulder. He's said to be progressing well, but the veteran reliever still has several more months of rest and rehab ahead. If he does become an option for the Dodgers in 2023, it probably won't be until late August or September.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Likely to miss 2023 season

    Treinen underwent surgery on his right shoulder labrum and rotator cuff Friday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. Treinen fought through multiple shoulder injuries in 2022 and underwent surgery in order to manage the lingering pain. The Dodgers didn't provide an immediate timetable for his return, but considering the rehab process typically takes around 10 months for this surgery, it is reasonable to think Treinen will miss the entire 2023 campaign.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Cleared to return

    Treinen (shoulder) will be on the Dodgers' NLDS roster. Treinen made just three appearances in April before suffering a shoulder injury, and he returned for just two more in early September before returning to the injured list. The Dodgers evidently feel comfortable with his health, though whether or not he's considered ready for a high-leverage role is unclear.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Expected to be on NLDS roster

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expects Treinen (shoulder) to make the NLDS roster, though the right-hander's role and availability are yet to be determined, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports. Treinen hasn't pitched in a game for over a month, so it may be too much to expect him to immediately pitch in high-leverage situations or on back-to-back days. The veteran reliever has thrown only five innings all season, giving up one run and posting a 6:1 K:BB. Treinen is a critical piece of Los Angeles' bullpen when healthy, so it would be a major boost to the team's title chances if he's able to work his way back into shape over a potential deep playoff run. He faced three batters in a simulated game Wednesday and will toss another sim game in the next few days, per Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Set to face hitters

    Manager Dave Roberts said Treinen (shoulder) is scheduled to throw to batters Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. The 34-year-old returned to mound work over the weekend and is now poised to face hitters a few days later. According to Roberts, Treinen could be included on the roster for the NLDS next week if the righty's rehab continues to progress smoothly.

  • Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Bullpen session set

    Treinen (shoulder) played catch off a mound Sunday and is slated to threw a full bullpen session Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Treinen returned from the injured list in early September but went back to the injured list after only two outings, and he's beginning to ramp up his throwing program. It remains to be seen if the veteran right-hander will have enough time to be game ready for the start of the NLDS on Oct. 11.
