Overview
- Treinen, who reported soreness after his scoreless inning in Friday’s win, was placed on the 15-day injured list before Saturday’s game with right elbow inflammation.
- The Dodgers recalled right-hander Chayce McDermott from Triple-A Oklahoma City as the corresponding roster move to provide immediate low-leverage bullpen depth.
- Manager Dave Roberts said initial testing did not reveal structural damage, so the team is taking a conservative rest-and-watch approach with no firm timetable for Treinen’s return.
- Los Angeles faces a stretched pitching staff with multiple relievers on the injured list but expects near-term relief help when Brock Stewart could be reinstated as soon as Monday and Evan Phillips is due back in early July.
- Treinen is a 38-year-old veteran who has a 3.52 ERA in 23 innings this season and a history of prior arm and shoulder surgeries, which helps explain the club’s cautious management and the potential impact on late-season bullpen planning.
