Reinstated from injured list The Dodgers reinstated Treinen (hip) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Treinen landed on the injured list Aug. 5 due to left hip discomfort, and he'll now rejoin the Dodgers' bullpen after throwing one rehab inning at Double-A Tulsa, during which he struck out all three batters he faced. The 36-year-old righty owns a 2.67 ERA and 1.09 WHIP through 30.1 frames on the year while working primarily in high-leverage situations. In a corresponding move, Ben Casparius was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Sharp in rehab outing Treinen (hip) made a rehab appearance for Double-A Tulsa on Saturday, retiring all three batters he faced via strikeout.

Impact Treinen landed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 5 with left hip discomfort, but after turning in a dominant rehab appearance over the weekend, he looks on track to return to the Dodgers bullpen when first eligible Tuesday. Before he was deactivated, Treinen had turned in a 2.67 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 38:9 K:BB over 30.1 innings for the big club while gathering five wins, nine holds and one save.

AUGUST 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to return when eligible Treinen (hip) has continued to play catch and will likely be activated from the 15-day injured list when first eligible, per MLB.com.

Impact Treinen went on the 15-day IL on Aug. 5, so the earliest he can be activated is Aug. 20. It appears likely that he will indeed return to the Dodgers' bullpen on that day, as his hip issue is not expected to be serious. Upon being activated, Treinen should slot back into a high-leverage role after posting a 2.67 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 38:9 K:BB over 30.1 innings while recording five wins, a save and nine holds.

Placed on IL Treinen was moved to the 15-day injured list Monday due to left hip discomfort, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's unknown as to when this injury first surfaced for Treinen, but it's significant enough to shut him down for at least the next 15 days. Brusdar Graterol (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

Blows save chance Tuesday Treinen blew a save in Tuesday's loss to the Padres, allowing two runs on two hits while also striking out two over an inning of work.

Impact Treinen was given the ball for the ninth inning with the Dodgers up 5-3 and could not convert. He allowed a first-pitch home run to Manny Machado before Jackson Merrill knotted things up with a home run of his own two batters later. Prior to his last two outings, Treinen had not given up an earned run the entire month of July spanning over 10 appearances, but he's now surrendered three runs on three homers over his last two appearances. The Dodgers' bullpen has been a mess in July, with four different pitchers garnering saves, as manager Dave Roberts has yet to figure out a permanent solution for their closer role. Treinen would've been the fifth reliever this month to record a save had he been able to convert. Still, the 35-year-old has posted good numbers overall with a 2.86 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 37:9 K:BB in 28.1 innings.
