The Dodgers placed Treinen on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a bruised lung.

EDGE Analysis

Treinen made the trip to South Korea for Los Angeles' opening series against the Padres, but he will have to wait until at least April to make his first appearance since 2022. Manager Dave Roberts previously said he expected Treinen to make the Opening Day roster, so it's likely Treinen will only be on the IL for the minimum 15 days. Landon Knack was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

Manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Treinen (chest) will travel with the Dodgers to South Korea for their season-opening series against the Padres next week, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts added that he expects Treinen to be included on the Dodgers' Opening Day roster. Treinen threw 15-to-20 pitches during a bullpen session Wednesday and seemed encouraged by his performance. The Dodgers don't play any more Cactus League games before their matchup against San Diego, so Treinen may still need to throw a simulated game before making his first regular-season appearance since 2022, but he at least appears to be trending in the right direction since suffering a bruised lung during Saturday's game.

Treinen (lung) said he completed a bullpen session Wednesday consisting of 15-to-20 pitches, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Treinen, who is recovering from a bruised lung, seemed upbeat after the session, but he wouldn't disclose whether he'll be available for the Dodgers' two-game season-opening series in South Korea versus the Padres on March 20 and 21. Since Wednesday's game against the Mariners marked the Dodgers' final Cactus League contest before the Seoul Series, Treinen may need to prove his health in a simulated game or a minor-league spring game before making the trip to South Korea.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Treinen has a bruised lung but was cleared of any fractures to his ribs after undergoing X-rays, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Treinen sustained the injury Saturday when he took a comebacker off his chest in his Cactus League appearance against the Rangers. Roberts said Sunday that Treinen's bruised lung isn't as serious as it sounds, and the Dodgers are still preparing for the veteran reliever to play catch Monday and throw a bullpen session Wednesday. If Treinen checks out fine following the side session, he could be available for the Dodgers' season-opening series in South Korea versus the Padres on March 20 and 21.

Treinen will receive X-rays and a CT scan on his ribs Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Treinen was removed from Saturday's game against the Rangers after getting hit by a comebacker off the bat of Sam Huff. He looked to be in a lot of pain as he went down, but manager Dave Roberts said the Dodgers will have to wait until Sunday for more information on Treinen's condition. Until then, the team is labeling it as a right rib contusion for the 35-year-old righty.

Treinen was removed from his spring appearance Saturday against Texas with an apparent injury, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Treinen went down after getting hit by a comebacker but was able to walk off the field under his own power. The ball appeared to hit Treinen in his midsection, so it's possible he simply had the wind knocked out of him, but the Dodgers will take a closer look and offer an update on his status in the near future.

Treinen (shoulder) pitched a scoreless inning in a Cactus League game against the White Sox on Tuesday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter.

EDGE Analysis

This was a significant outing for Treinen, as he didn't pitch in the majors at all last season and hurled just 3.1 minor-league frames after undergoing shoulder surgery in November 2022. The veteran reliever entered in the sixth inning Tuesday and began his outing by giving up a single to Gavin Sheets but rebounded with a punchout and two infield popouts. Treinen's successful outing further puts him on track to be ready for the Dodgers' opening series in Korea that begins March 20.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Treinen (shoulder) is trending toward being on the active roster for the team's March 20-21 series versus the Padres in South Korea, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Treinen made just five appearances in 2022 and had only three rehab outings in 2023 due to right shoulder surgery. However, he's made the necessary progress since then and is evidently throwing without restrictions this spring. Treinen was one of the best relievers in baseball prior to his surgery, but he'll need to show his stuff is all the way back before the Dodgers trust him in high-leverage spots again.

Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said Saturday that Treinen (shoulder) is trending toward a return in 2024, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

It remains unclear whether Treinen will be able to pitch in spring training games, but it's relatively positive news for the 35-year-old right-hander. Treinen missed the entire 2023 campaign after undergoing surgery on his shoulder in November 2022, and he was lit up for three runs in 1.1 innings at Triple-A Oklahoma City before being pulled off his rehab assignment.

The Dodgers exercised Treinen's (shoulder) team option for 2024 on Sunday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Treinen was forced to miss the 2023 campaign after undergoing shoulder surgery in November of 2022, but he'll remain with the club for the 2024 season following Sunday's move. His rehab assignment was paused in early September after he experienced soreness in his shoulder, and it's unclear whether he'll be back to full health in time for spring training next year.
