Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen (forearm) has been activated from the 60-day injured list. Treinen has been out since mid-April due to a forearm sprain, but he recently completed a lengthy rehab stint that saw him make seven appearances across the Arizona Complex League and Triple-A. With Tanner Scott (elbow) on the injured list, Treinen could be the lead candidate for saves in the Dodgers' bullpen. In 46 2/3 innings for Los Angeles last season, Treinen earned just one save but went 7-3 with a 1.93 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and 56 strikeouts. However, he had three saves for the Dodgers in the 2024 postseason and has 82 saves for his career.

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen (forearm) has completed his rehab and will come off the 60-day injured list on either Sunday or Monday, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports. It has been a long road back for Treinen, who has been out since April 19 with a sprained right forearm. Before going on the shelf, the 37-year-old pitched to a strong 3.38 ERA with 10 strikeouts, three walks, three holds, and two saves in eight innings. With fellow late-game relievers Tanner Scott (elbow) and Michael Kopech (knee) on the IL, Treinen will be a candidate to rack up saves when he returns. However, regardless of inning, the Dodgers plan to use Treinen in the highest-leverage situations, according to Plunkett.

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen (forearm) took a big step in his rehab on Thursday when he completed the second night of scheduled back-to-back appearances. Treinen threw 12 pitches in a perfect inning with two strikeouts for Triple-A Oklahoma City. In six innings at Triple-A, Treinen has not allowed an earned run, struck out nine, and walked just one. The 37-year-old has not pitched for the Dodgers since mid-April as he works through a forearm issue, but it appears he could be close to a big league return. Los Angeles recently placed Tanner Scott (elbow) on the 15-day injured list, so there's a clear opportunity for Treinen to earn saves at the back end of the Dodgers' bullpen. Of course, Los Angeles has been linked to just about every prominent relief arm on the trade block, so there could be added competition for Treinen in the pen when he does return.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Blake Treinen (forearm) pitched a scoreless inning with two strikeouts on Wednesday, needing only nine pitches to get through the inning. He is scheduled to pitch again on Thursday for the Oklahoma City Comets, and if everything goes well, could rejoin the Dodgers bullpen this weekend. Pitching on back-to-back days is the final step in Treinen's rehab, so the 37-year-old should be back in the mix soon. He has been sidelined since April 13 with a right forearm sprain, but is getting healthy at a good time since Tanner Scott (elbow) just landed on the injured list. Kirby Yates and lefty Alex Vesia will continue to fill in at closer until Treinen is ready to jump back into high-leverage situations.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Blake Treinen (forearm) looked sharp in a rehab appearance Sunday for Triple-A Oklahoma City, striking out two in a clean 15-pitch inning. The veteran reliever is closing in on a return to a Dodgers bullpen that has struggled with consistency and injuries. Before landing on the injured list, he racked up two saves while posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and 10 strikeouts across eight innings. Treinen is a strong stash candidate for fantasy managers in need of saves or holds, and he could soon challenge Alex Vesia, Ben Casparius, and Tanner Scott for high-leverage opportunities in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Blake Treinen (forearm) made his fourth rehab appearance at Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday. The right-hander faced three batters and threw eight pitches, all of which were strikes, and he struck one batter out while not allowing a hit or a walk. He's now allowed one earned run on just one hit (a home run) and a walk while striking out five in four innings pitched. The 37-year-old has been out since mid-April with a strained right forearm, but posted a 3.38 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and a 19.4 percent K-BB% before going down with the injury. The 6-foot-5 hurler should be able to return within a week, and could be in a position to pick up some saves down the stretch with Tanner Scott having a tenuous hold on the closer role.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed reliever Blake Treienen (forearm) made his third minor-league rehab appearance on Tuesday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and allowed a solo home run while walking none and striking out one in his inning of work. In his three innings on the farm during his rehab assignment, the 36-year-old veteran hurler has allowed two runs (one earned) while striking out four and walking one. It's unclear how much longer he'll be on his rehab assignment, but barring a setback with his forearm, we'd suspect he'll rejoin the big-league bullpen shortly after the start of the second half of the season this Friday. Treinen has two saves in just eight appearances in 2025 and 82 saves in 11 big-league seasons, so he could see more work in the ninth inning in the second half for the Blue, especially if lefty Tanner Scott continues to be inconsistent.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that right-handed reliever Blake Treinen (forearm) is set to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday. Treinen is recovering from a sprained right forearm that has kept him sidelined since the middle of April. The 36-year-old veteran will likely need at least several outings in the minors because of his long layoff, which means it's probably unlikely that he'll come off the injured list to rejoin L.A.'s bullpen before the end of the first half of the season this Sunday. Treinen should have a key late-inning setup role for the Dodgers in the second half, though, and he does have 82 career saves in his 11 big-league seasons. Before his forearm injury, he had a 3.38 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, two saves, 10 strikeouts and three walks in eight relief innings.

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen (forearm) will throw one inning against live hitters on Saturday. If he gets through that without any problems, Treinen will embark on a rehab assignment. The 37-year-old right-hander hasn't pitched since April 13 because of a sprained forearm. The Dodgers were using Treinen in a high-leverage role before he suffered the injury. He threw eight innings of three-run ball with 10:3 K:BB, three holds, and two saves over his first eight appearances.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that right-handed reliever Blake Treinen (forearm) will face live hitters on Wednesday. It will be the first time that Treinen will face live hitters since he was forced to the injured list in mid-April with a sprained right forearm. The 36-year-old veteran is already eligible to come off the 60-day injured list, but it remains to be seen if he'll be activated before the All-Star break in mid-July. If he fares well during his live session on Wednesday, Treinen could be sent on a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend. Before his forearm injury in the first month of the 2025 season, Treinen made eight appearances out of the bullpen and gave up three earned runs while recording two saves, striking out 10 and walking three. He'll be in play in holds leagues in a high-leverage role for the Blue in the second half of the season.

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen (forearm) has returned to throwing his full pitch mix as he recovers from a sprained right forearm, according to the team. The Dodgers are hopeful that Treinen will return sometime in July. They've gone most of the season without Treinen, who landed on the 10-day injured list on April 9 and was later transferred to the 60-day IL. Before suffering his injury, Treinen threw eight innings of three-run ball with 10 strikeouts, three walks, three holds, and two saves. The 36-year-old has a long track record of effectiveness as both a setup man and a closer. He should be on fantasy radars as a result.

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen (forearm) threw a bullpen session on Friday. The veteran is inching closer to a return, but will likely need a few more bullpens and a rehab assignment beforereturning to the big league mound. The righty had eight games under his belt before landing on the IL in mid-April, notching two saves, three holds, and recording 10 strikeouts in eight innings pitched with a 3.38 ERA. Treinen made 50 appearances for the Dodgers last season, posting a 1.93 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and a strong 24.5 percent K-BB%, so the 36-year-old should still be effective once he returns, and the 6-foot-5 hurler could also pick up a few more saves along the way, so he could be a decent ratio enhancer in deep and NL-only leagues when that happens, although there is no ETA yet.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Blake Treinen (forearm) is going to start playing catch in the next few days, according to manager Dave Roberts. Treinen is reportedly pain-free, which is good news for the right-hander. He last pitched in a game on April 13 and is expected to return sometime in mid-June. Before suffering his forearm strain, he recorded two saves with 10 strikeouts and three walks in eight innings.

The Los Angeles Dodgers transferred right-handed reliever Blake Treinen (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday, according to The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya. Righty reliever Michael Kopech (shoulder) to the 60-day IL. In other moves, the Dodgers claimed J.P. Feyereisen off waivers from the Arizona Diamondbacks and acquired right-hander Ryan Loutos from the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for cash considerations. Treinen, 36, has yet to resume throwing after suffering a sprained right forearm in mid-April and now won't be able to come off the IL until the middle of June. Kopech, 29, hasn't pitched yet in 2025 due to right-forearm inflammation and a right-shoulder impingement. He's likely to return before Treinen does and has built up to 30 pitches during bullpen sessions.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that right-handed reliever Blake Treinen (forearm) will be shut down for a to be determined amount of time. The Dodgers are in no rush to bring Treinen back to the major-league bullpen, and they shouldn't given how many capable arms they have. The 36-year-old veteran was placed on the 15-day injured list back on April 19 with tightness in his right forearm. He will not return to the Dodgers when he's eligible to come off the IL later this week. Before his injury, Treinen had allowed three earned runs on eight hits (one homer) while walking three and striking out 10 in eight innings of relief. He also had two saves. For however long Treinen remains away from the Dodgers, right-hander Evan Phillips should have a bigger role as a late-inning setup man before Kirby Yates and closer Tanner Scott.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Blake Treinen (forearm) is dealing with a low-grade sprain and will begin a "conservative" rehab. The reliever will not have to undergo surgery. This is an excellent sign as Treinen was placed on the 15-day injured list with a forearm injury on Saturday. However, it appears the 36-year-old has avoided a significant injury. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression as he slowly increases his workload. Through the early part of the campaign, the right-hander has held a 3.38 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP across eight innings of work. He has struck out 10 batters, tallied three holds, and earned two saves. He has generated a strong 3.47 xERA with a stellar 31.8 percent hard-hit rate. While the right-hander remains out, Tanner Scott should see the bulk of the save opportunities with Kirby Yates and Alex Vesia mixing in.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Blake Treinen worked a scoreless ninth inning despite giving up a hit and a walk to the Nationals on Wednesday in Washington. He stranded two runners in scoring position when James Wood grounded out to end the game and helped the Dodgers avoid suffering a road sweep at the hands of the Nationals. The Dodgers had to rely on their relievers early in this game after Luke Knack gave up five runs in just 2 1/3 innings, but the bullpen delivered 6 2/3 innings of scoreless relief. The Dodgers are using a few different options to close out games based on the situation, but Treinen remains part of the mix and has two saves in three opportunities, along with a pair of holds. He has allowed two runs in six innings this season with seven strikeouts.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Blake Treinen got the call in the ninth inning to seal the victory against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. Treinen allowed a leadoff single to second baseman Gleyber Torres. He then struck out Riley Greene for his first out. However, he then walked Spencer Torkelson. Treinen was able to bounce back and retire the next two batters, one with a strikeout to seal the victory. Earlier in the offseason, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed that Tanner Scott would be the primary closer. However, through their first three games, Scott has earned just one save, with Alex Vesia and Treinen earning the others. In Thursday's contest, Scott entered the game in the eighth inning. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor how the Dodgers deploy their high-leverage relievers. However, given the elite offensive firepower in Los Angeles, both Scott and Treinen could have value in standard formats, even if they share save opportunities.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are bringing back reliever Blake Treinen on a two-year, $22 million contract. The 36-year-old had a fantastic season coming out of the 'pen for the Dodgers, recording 16 holds and a save on the back of a 1.93 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and an 11:56 BB:K over 46 2/3 IP. It was a superb bounce-back performance after missing all of 2023 and most of 2022 with a shoulder injury. The 2024 campaign culminated with two-and-a-third innings of one-hit ball in Game 5 of the World Series where he allowed one hit and one walk while striking out three, going down as the winning pitcher in the series finale. For his career, the righty owns a 2.78 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and a 24.8% strikeout rate. For fantasy in 2025, he'll be relevant in any league that rewards holds and could be considered in other leagues were he pressed into a closer role.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Blake Treinen recorded the final six outs of Game 6 of the NLCS, earning the save in a 10-5 win over the New York Mets. The 36-year-old allowed one run on two hits while striking out four. Treinen was the seventh Dodgers reliever used in this one, as manager Dave Roberts elected to go with a bullpen game. It wasn't pretty, as five of the seven allowed a run, but they got the job done. As for Treinen, the run he allowed in this one was the first he has given up in eight postseason innings. Los Angeles will need him to continue that form against the New York Yankees in what should be an entertaining World Series.
