Blake Treinen Stats

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Blake Treinen (shoulder) underwent right shoulder labrum and rotator cuff repair that was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Treinen and the Dodgers were going over their options after the 2022 season, but he was unable to avoid surgery that will knock him out for all of next season. And at 34 years of age, it's reasonable to wonder if this could end Treinen's career. He battled through multiple shoulder injuries in 2022 and managed to pitch five innings all year, although he did return in the postseason to toss one inning in the National League Division Series. The rehab process should take around 10 months for Treinen, so the Dodgers won't have him available in their bullpen next season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and relief pitcher Blake Treinen (shoulder) are discussing the best way to move forward with the shoulder injury that kept him out for most of the 2022 season. Surgery is among the options being discussed. Treinen made only three relief appearances in April before he injured his right shoulder, and he was only able to pitch in five regular season innings due to the injury. The 34-year-old would most likely miss the start of the 2023 season if he goes under the knife at this point in the offseason. He was able to return to the Dodgers in the postseason and made one appearance in Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres, allowing a solo home run while walking two and striking out one in an inning of work.

Los Angeles Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts said that starting pitcher Dustin May (back) and reliever Blake Treinen (shoulder) will face live hitters on Wednesday. May isn't a lock for the National League Division Series roster, even if he shows he's healthy this coming week. Treinen is a possibility to be ready in time for the NLDS next week. May went on the injured list on Sept. 24 with lower-back tightness, but it's good news that he's making progress, so he could be an option for the rotation if the Dodgers advance to the Championship Series. The 34-year-old Treinen returned to mound work over the weekend and appears to be ahead of May in his rehab. He could be a big addition to the Dodgers bullpen for the start of the NLDS.
