Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Facing live hitters Wednesday
Rotowire
Treinen (elbow) will face live hitters Wednesday, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.
Treinen landed on the injured list in late June due to right elbow inflammation, but the good news was that an MRI did not show signs of structural damage. He was cleared to play catch before the All-Star break and is ready to take the next step in his rehab by throwing off a mound. The Dodgers should have a better sense of Treinen's recovery timeline once the veteran right-hander is cleared to embark on a rehab assignment.

Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Cleared to play catch
Rotowire
The Dodgers announced Thursday that Treinen (elbow) has resumed playing catch, per MLB.com.
Treinen is working his way through a throwing program after landing on the injured list June 20 due to right elbow inflammation, but the Dodgers aren't counting on him to return until after the All-Star break. Once he's activated, Treinen will likely handle a middle-innings or setup role out of the Los Angeles bullpen.

Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Receives clean imaging
Rotowire
Treinen does not have any structural damage in his injured right elbow, per MLB.com.
Treinen landed on the injured list June 20 due to right elbow inflammation. He subsequently underwent imaging, which revealed only inflammation due to wear and tear. As such, Treinen could be back with the Dodgers' bullpen sometime in July.

Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Hits injured list with elbow issue
Rotowire
The Dodgers placed Treinen on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to right elbow inflammation.
Treinen seemed to be rounding into form for the Dodgers, posting a 2.61 ERA and 1.16 WHIP to go along with three wins and a save over his last 13 appearances, but his campaign is now on hold due to the elbow injury. Chayce McDermott was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to replace Treinen on the active roster and in the Los Angeles bullpen.
Treinen earned a save against the Rockies on Monday by striking out the only batter he faced.
Los Angeles held a 5-3 lead heading into the ninth inning and initially turned to lefty Alex Vesia, who retired two of the three batters he faced. When Colorado decided to send up righty Braxton Fulford as a pinch hitter, the Dodgers countered with the right-handed Treinen. That proved to be a fruitful move, as Treinen needed just four pitches to set Fulford down on strikes. The save was Treinen's first in the regular season since April 9 of last year. He hasn't been in the Dodgers' closer mix even with Edwin Diaz (elbow) out of commission, and Tanner Scott remains the team's most desirable target for saves, though he was likely unavailable Monday after having pitched each of the two previous days.

Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Notches sixth hold
Rotowire
Treinen pitched a perfect inning and picked up his sixth hold while striking out a batter in a 4-0 win over San Diego on Wednesday.
Treinen entered in the seventh inning and retired the side in order, maintaining the 3-0 lead for the Dodgers. The 37-year-old's scoreless inning marked his fifth such frame in his past six appearances. The right-hander has a 3.31 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB through his first 16.1 innings while filling a setup role that's helped net him six holds.
Moniak went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's win over the Dodgers.
Moniak was a key contributor in Sunday's win, launching a 428-foot homer off Blake Treinen to give the Rockies the lead in the seventh inning. The outfielder is off to a strong start in 2026, slashing .273/.305/.655 with six homers, three doubles, 12 RBI and 10 runs through 16 games. The 27-year-old remains a non-factor against left-handed pitching but has steadily produced against right-handers since joining Colorado in 2025.

Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Struck by errant batted ball
Rotowire
Treinen was struck in the head by a batted ball during practice before Saturday's game against Colorado, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Treinen is being evaluated for a potential head injury, but the team believes he is okay. However, it remains unclear if he will be available for Saturday's matchup against the Rockies. While Treinen hasn't figured into the saves picture for the Dodgers, he does have four holds without allowing an earned run across 6.2 innings to begin the season.

Rotowire
Treinen is fine after being hit in the head with a batted ball during batting practice prior to Saturday's game against Colorado, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Treinen was evaluated for a head injury following the incident. He warmed up in the bullpen during the game but ultimately did not appear in the contest, so it appears that a stint on the injured list won't be necessary.

Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Unsteady so far this spring
Rotowire
Treinen pitched a scoreless inning in a Cactus League outing against Seattle on Friday, allowing three walks and striking out one batter.
Treinen entered in the fifth frame and walked the bases full, but he managed to escape the inning without giving up any runs. The veteran reliever hasn't looked sharp this spring -- he's given up four earned runs with a 3:5 K:BB over 4.1 frames -- but he's essentially a lock for Los Angeles' regular-season bullpen. That said, Treinen had the worst campaign of his career last year, posting a 5.40 ERA and 1.84 WHIP with a 36:19 K:BB across 26.2 regular-season innings, so the team may be wary about using him in high-leverage situations right away, especially given his results this spring.
