Dodgers Place Blake Treinen on Injured List with Right Elbow Inflammation The Los Angeles Dodgers placed right-handed pitcher Blake Treinen on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation ahead of Saturday night’s 3-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. The decision followed Treinen’s report of limited range of motion in his elbow, though he showed no discomfort during his final pitch on Friday. Treinen pitched a scoreless top of the ninth inning in the game, which ended in a 6-5 walk-off victory for the Dodgers after a Dalton Rushing RBI single and a Baltimore error. Right-hander Chayce McDermott was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to replace Treinen on the roster. McDermott, who posted a 5.40 ERA with the Comets, pitched a scoreless inning for the Dodgers earlier this season. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed that imaging tests on Treinen’s elbow showed no structural damage, only inflammation caused by wear and tear. The veteran, who carries a 3.52 ERA through 29 appearances, is expected to miss at least the minimum 15 days but may return sooner if treatment proves effective. Treinen’s struggles in high-leverage situations have led to adjustments in his role. Manager Roberts has sought softer landing spots for the right-hander, with Kyle Hurt and Will Klein emerging as key right-handed options in critical moments. Treinen’s inconsistency in leverage, which dates back to last year, has prompted the team to shift his deployment. The Dodgers’ bullpen has faced multiple injuries this season, with Treinen joining several other relievers on the injured list. Brock Stewart (left foot bone spur) could be activated as early as Monday in Minnesota, while Evan Phillips (Tommy John surgery) is projected to return after completing his rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City in early July.#los_angeles_dodgers #dave_roberts #triple_a_oklahoma_city #blake_treinen #chayce_mcdermott
