Loses to St. Louis Treinen (1-2) lost Tuesday's 3-2 game with the Cardinals, allowing one run on two hits with one strikeout in 1.1 innings.

Impact Treinen pitched a 1-2-3 eighth and returned for the ninth but allowed two straight hits to push the go-ahead run across the plate in a tie game. The righty has now surrendered four runs in two innings over his last two appearances and has seen his ERA rise from 1.80 to 3.27 in that stretch.

Likely available Tuesday Treinen (undisclosed) is expected to be available Tuesday against the Cardinals, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact The 32-year-old was unavailable for Monday's contest since his "body didn't feel right," and manager Dave Roberts declined to provide any specifics on the issue. Regardless, it appears to be a minor concern since Treinen is expected to be available Tuesday.

Impact Roberts' comments wouldn't seem to suggest Treinen is dealing with a major concern, so the expectation is that he'll be good to go for the final two games of the series with St. Louis. Treinen was lit up for three runs while recording only two outs in his last appearance Friday against the Giants, ending a streak of 10 straight outings in which he hadn't allowed an earned run.

Secures second save Treinen picked up the save Friday against San Francisco by pitching a perfect ninth inning.

Impact Usual closer Kenley Jansen had pitched three times in the previous four days, so manager Dave Roberts declared the right-hander unavailable for Friday's contest. With Los Angeles protecting a one-run lead heading into the bottom of the ninth inning, Treinen was called upon to close out the game in Jansen's stead. He had little trouble doing so, retiring the side on only eight pitches. Treinen has been one of baseball's top setup men this season, registering a 1.89 ERA, 22:5 K:BB and 11 holds across 20 appearances. Jansen has been effective and will continue to log most save chances, but Treinen figures to be first in line when the veteran closer needs a breather.

Registers 10th hold Treinen picked up the hold Tuesday against Arizona by retiring the only batter he faced.

Impact The right-hander came on in relief with two runners on base and two outs in the top of the seventh inning. He got Nick Ahmed to fly out to right to preserve a 3-1 Dodgers lead. Treinen has been effective in a setup role this season, posting a 2.12 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 22:5 K:BB across 17 innings. He is tied for second in the league with 10 holds.

Notches first save Treinen struck out two over a perfect ninth inning to secure his first save of the season in Saturday's 14-11 win over the Angels.

Impact Kenley Jansen was likely available out of the bullpen after having not pitched either of the previous two days, but manager Dave Roberts instead elected to go with Treinen for the save chance after Jansen melted down in his most recent appearance Wednesday. Treinen turned in a stress-free ninth inning to put an end to the Angels' comeback from a 13-run deficit, and he may have positioned himself as the next man up for saves if the Dodgers decide to move Jansen out of the closer's role at some point. Despite an ugly 13:13 K:BB in 13.1 innings this season, Jansen's track record prior to 2021 likely gives him more job security than most relievers with his stat line.

Records eighth hold Treinen struck out three and yielded one hit in an inning of work, earning a hold in Wednesday's 8-0 victory over Cincinnati.

Impact The righty has allowed just one earned run since a rough first outing of the season in which he yielded two. Treinen's ERA has been gradually declining, and it now sits at 2.70 through 10 innings pitched. His sinker, cutter and slider all boast elite movement and will keep him among baseball's best relievers as long as he commands them down in the zone. Further, playing for a winning team in the Dodgers will present plenty of hold opportunities, especially in the absence of Corey Knebel (lat).

Takes loss Thursday Treinen (1-1) was tagged with the loss in relief Thursday against the Padres after giving up a run on three hits across one inning.

Impact Treinen pitched the eighth after a strong start from Walker Buehler, but he allowed back-to-back singles to Jurickson Profar and Victor Caratini -- he allowed the game-winning run in the next at-bat on a double play that saw Profar cross home plate. Treinen was coming off six straight holds and this outing also ended his streak of scoreless appearances at six.

Records fourth hold of season Treinen struck out two and allowed one hit in a scoreless inning, earning a hold in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Colorado.

Impact The right-handed sinkerballer has strung together four consecutive scoreless outings after a shaky 2021 debut, lowering his ERA to a respectable 3.60. The 32-year-old's best days may be behind him, but his stuff remains elite, and since he's pitching for a team that presumes to hold late leads in the majority of its games this season, Treinen should continue to earn plenty of hold opportunities.

Records hold Sunday Treinen registered his third hold of the season as he allowed two hits but got out of his one inning damage-free in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Nationals.

Impact Treinen was called upon to pitch the eighth inning and started off a little rocky as he allowed the first two hitters to reach. He was able to buckle down thereafter and battled to get the next three batters out to escape the jam. The 32-year-old has now hurled three straight scoreless outings after a rocky start in which he allowed two runs in a blown save opportunity against the Rockies on April 3.
