Blake Treinen Placed on Injured List with Forearm Tightness

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed veteran reliever Blake Treinen on the 15-day injured list due to right forearm tightness, which was later diagnosed as a low-grade sprain following an MRI. Manager Dave Roberts indicated the level of concern is not high, and Treinen will begin a conservative rehab program, though his return could extend beyond the minimum stint depending on his recovery. Treinen, who has a 3.38 ERA in eight appearances this season, experienced tightness after his last outing and felt further discomfort while warming up, prompting the team to act cautiously. In his absence, Tanner Scott is expected to serve as the primary closer, with Kirby Yates, Alex Vesia, and Evan Phillips—recently activated from his own injury—among those filling key bullpen roles. Treinen's injury adds to a growing list of Dodgers pitchers sidelined this season, but the team remains confident in their bullpen depth.
