Dodgers Place Eric Lauer on Injured List and Activate Blake Treinen

Lauer's injured-list placement followed a rough start and cleared a 40-man spot that sent Will Klein to the 60-day IL.

Overview

  • The Dodgers placed Eric Lauer on the injured list Wednesday with left elbow inflammation after he allowed seven runs and eight hits in three innings against the St. Louis Cardinals.
  • To open a 40-man roster spot the team transferred reliever Will Klein to the 60-day injured list.
  • Right-hander Blake Treinen was activated after seven rehab appearances at Low-A Ontario and Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he posted a 0.00 ERA with eight strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings.
  • Lauer, acquired from Toronto on May 17, had a 7-2 record and a 4.50 ERA in 14 games for Los Angeles this season, so the IL move creates an immediate rotation gap.
  • The Dodgers now must cover Lauer's scheduled turns in the short term, and Treinen's return gives the bullpen a veteran option while the club considers a spot starter or internal rotation adjustment.
