Dodgers' Blake Treinen Placed on IL with Elbow Injury, Will Undergo MRI

The Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen depth took a hit Saturday.

The team placed veteran right-handed reliever Blake Treinen on the injured list due to inflammation in his right forearm. He is expected to get an MRI on Saturday and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts downplayed the "level of concern" the team has.

“Level of concern not too high right now,” Roberts said, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. "They’ll know more soon."

Treinen is 0-2 with a 3.38 ERA and two saves in eight appearances in 2025. He was an extremely impactful reliever for the team during its 2024 run to a World Series title as he recorded a 2.19 ERA in nine appearances.

He was limited to just five games in 2022 and missed the entire 2023 season with a shoulder injury.

The team officially put him on the 15-day injured list, so he will be out until early May at least. He joins Michael Kopech as the notable Dodger relievers who are on the injured list.

In Treinen's absence, Los Angeles will look for Tanner Scott, Kirby Yates, Alex Vesia, Evan Phillips and Anthony Banda to carry the slack. The team is currently 15-7 and are second in the NL West.
