Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expects Treinen (shoulder) to make the NLDS roster, though his role and availability are yet to be determined, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Treinen hasn't pitched in a game for over a month, so it may be too much to expect him to immediately pitch in high-leverage situations or on back-to-back days. The veteran reliever has thrown only five innings all season, giving up one run and posting a 6:1 K:BB. Treinen is a critical piece of Los Angeles' bullpen when healthy, so it would be a major boost to the team's title chances if he's able to work his way back into shape over a potential deep playoff run. The right-hander faced three batters in a simulated game Wednesday and will toss another sim game in the next few days, per Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com.

Manager Dave Roberts said Treinen (shoulder) is scheduled to throw to batters Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old returned to mound work over the weekend and is now poised to face hitters a few days later. According to Roberts, Treinen could be included on the roster for the NLDS next week if the righty's rehab continues to progress smoothly.

Treinen (shoulder) played catch off a mound Sunday and is slated to threw a full bullpen session Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Treinen returned from the injured list in early September but went back to the injured list after only two outings, but he's beginning to ramp up his throwing program. It remains to be seen of the veteran right-hander will have enough time to be game ready for the start of the NLDS on Oct. 11.

Treinen (shoulder) played catch Friday and manager Dave Roberts said he's getting closer to throwing off a mound again, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

There is still no word on how soon Treinen will be able to return, but chances are that he will miss at least the beginning of the postseason. He's been sidelined with shoulder issues for the vast majority of the season and hasn't made an appearance since the beginning of September.

Treinen (shoulder) began throwing again Tuesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Progress has been slow in Treinen's recovery, and a temporarily shutdown last Thursday delayed matters further. Treinen said he's feeling better now -- resuming throwing is certainly a good sign -- but he doesn't know if he'll be able to begin the playoffs on the Dodgers' postseason roster.

Treinen (shoulder) did not resume throwing Saturday as expected, but the Dodgers are hoping he can start throwing again soon, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Dave Roberts said earlier in the day that there's only a "small chance" Treinen is activated before the end of the regular season. However, if Treinen is cleared to pick up a baseball soon, he could still make the NLDS roster. Shoulder trouble has limited Treinen to just a handful of appearances this season after he led the team in appearances with 72 a season ago.

Treinen (shoulder) will be shut down from throwing until he's re-evaluated Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander was previously expected to be activated from the injured list Thursday, but he won't throw for a few days before the Dodgers decide the next steps to take in his rehab program. Manager Dave Roberts said Treinen "hasn't bounced back" from the shoulder injury as anticipated, leaving his availability for the closing stretch of the regular season, and the playoffs, up in the air.

Treinen (shoulder) won't be activated Thursday as the Dodgers had originally hoped, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Dave Roberts noted that Treinen "hasn't bounced back the way we hoped." There's no word yet on exactly how long his return will be delayed, but it sounds like the Dodgers will have to wait a few more days before welcoming Treinen back to their bullpen.

Manager Dave Roberts, via Juan Toribio of MLB.com, said Tuesday that it's "very possible" Treinen (shoulder) is activated from the injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Treinen threw a couple bullpen sessions without issue over the past week, and it looks like he could be ready to rejoin the big club when first eligible.

Treinen (shoulder) is expected to throw to live hitters Monday and could be activated from the injured list later in the week, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Treinen threw a bullpen session Wednesday that didn't result in any setbacks, and his next step will be to throw to hitters. He may not need a minor-league rehab stint given the brief timeframe of his absence. Treinen's placement on the 15-day IL was backdated to Sept. 7, so the earliest he can return is Thursday.
