Treinen was summoned to protect a one-run advantage with the potential tying and winning runs on-base after Roki Sasaki was unable to slam the door. The 37-year-old high-leverage specialist walked William Contreras to load the bases before striking out Brice Turang to preserve the victory.

Treinen was the choice to step in after Yoshinobu Yamamoto lost his no-hitter with two outs in the ninth. He gave up a double to the first batter he faced before hitting a batter and walking two in a row to force in a run. He was then replaced by Tanner Scott, who gave up a two-run single to end the game. Treinen was in line for his first save since Apr. 9. The blown save actually ended up going to Scott, but it’ll be Treinen who gets the most blame for this one.

Treinen came on after Tanner Scott had served up a three-run homer in the eighth inning to tie the score. He needed just eight pitches (seven strikes) to retire the Diamondbacks in order in the top half of the ninth, then became the beneficiary when the Dodgers walked it off in the home half of the inning. He now sports a 3.12 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and a 27/9 K/BB ratio over 17 1/3 innings on the season while securing two saves and one victory.

Treinen was given a save opportunity and a 3-0 lead in the ninth inning. He did strike out two batters, but he threw 16 of his 26 pitches for strikes and was pulled with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth inning. Given his extensive experience, you’d have to assume that the Dodgers will give him another shot to convert a save, but this wasn’t a great outing for a guy in a crowded bullpen.

Jake Dreyer came in with one run in and retired Matt McLain for his first major league save. Treinen is one of the relievers in the mix for saves in the Dodgers pen with Tanner Scott out, but this won’t help the cause and there’s always a decent chance he’ll wind up back on the IL at some point. He seems like a weaker fantasy option than Kirby Yates or Alex Vesia, and the Dodgers might yet go ahead and settle the matter for good by acquiring a closer at the deadline.

Treinen returns to the Dodgers’ high-leverage mix for Sunday’s series finale at Fenway Park after missing three months with a forearm strain. The 37-year-old’s closing experience gives him a legitimate shot at earning a few saves down the stretch, even if Los Angeles adds a veteran bullpen arm at the trade deadline.

Treinen needed only nine pitches to record three outs, and eight of them were strikes. This was the first appearance in a planned back-to-back, and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Treinen would need to pitch in back-to-back games before being activated. If all goes well on Thursday, Treinen could be up with the Dodgers this weekend and right back into high-leverage innings.

The 37-year-old struck out two and didn’t allow a single baserunner. He sat 97 mph on his sinker and threw 11 of his 15 pitches for strikes. He could be activated and back in high-leverage innings any day now.

Treinen followed Blake Snell in this game and allowed a home run to Guardians 3B prospect Dauri Fernandez. Other than that, his day was strong with one strikeout and good velocity on his fastball. He’s likely to return to the Dodgers’ bullpen right after the All-Star break.

The veteran threw eight of his 12 pitches for strikes while sitting 95.5 mph on his sinker. He mixed in his sweeper, which got one whiff on one swing, and also threw a cutter. He seems healthy and could be called up this weekend. With Tanner Scott struggling to close out games, Treinen could pitch his way into a committee at the end of games for the Dodgers.

This is the first time that Treinen has faced hitters since being placed on the IL with a forearm strain back in April. If this goes well, Treinen could head out on a rehab assignment, and rehabs for relievers are usually shorter than for starting pitchers, so it’s feasible that we could see Treinen back in the Dodgers’ bullpen by the middle of July. With Michael Kopech (knee) landing on the IL this week, Treinen could easily work himself back into high-leverage innings in the final months of the season.

The 36-year-old right-hander landed on the injured list last week due to a low-grade right forearm strain. While it won’t require surgery, the fact that he’s going to miss at least two months means it’s still highly concerning. J.P. Feyereisen was claimed off of waivers from the Diamondbacks and Ryan Loutos was added in a trade from the Cardinals to bolster the team’s bullpen depth on Thursday.

The procedural move opens up a spot on Milwaukee’s 40-man roster for outfielder Daz Cameron. Perkins is expected to be sidelined until at least late May recovering from a fractured right shin.

It’s definitely the best-case scenario after Treinen hit the shelf earlier this weekend with right forearm tightness. The 36-year-old high-leverage reliever remains without a definitive return timetable, and is likely facing a multi-week absence, but he’s certainly not done for the year. He’s on the rest and rehabilitation path for now.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts made it official on Saturday afternoon, adding that Treinen will undergo an MRI this weekend to determine the severity of the issue. Roberts added that he’s not too concerned. There should be some clarity on his status in the coming days.

Treinen hasn’t pitched since April 13 with Tanner Scott handling three straight save opportunities during that span. The 36-year-old veteran high-leverage reliever has dealt with shoulder issues the past few years and it’s never encouraging to hear about forearm issues, which are often a precursor to serious elbow problems.
