A lingering shoulder injury that kept Blake Treinen to just five games all season long brings some major discussions. Treinen coming back to the team remains intact, unless the Dodgers choose to trade him, but in order for Treinen to make an impact for the team he may need to consider getting shoulder surgery.
The shoulder is a money maker for all pitchers and Treinen knows all too well that in order to get back to full strength shoulder surgery has to be on the table. Treinen appeared in three games before injuring his shoulder that kept him out for five months and after just two more games suffered a shoulder injury again.
