If it seems like it has been forever since Blake Treinen has been in a game, it’s because it basically has. The Dodgers reliever has not pitched in a game since April 14th when he shut down the Reds for an inning. But a small shoulder issue grew into something much worse than they could have imagined, and he hasn’t done much since then.
But there is good news coming from the Dodgers this afternoon. Treinen was not expected to be back until after the All-Star break, and it sounds like that will still be the case. But he did take a step towards getting back onto the field.
