Overview

  • Blake Treinen has been placed on the injured list with right forearm tightness and will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the issue.
  • Evan Phillips, a key reliever with a strong track record, has been activated to bolster the Dodgers' bullpen in Treinen's absence.
  • This development compounds the Dodgers' pitching challenges, with Blake Snell already sidelined due to shoulder inflammation earlier this month.
  • Phillips demonstrated elite performance last season, finishing with a 0.73 ERA over 14 games and playing a pivotal role in the Dodgers' World Series run.
  • The Dodgers' investment in pitching depth continues to prove vital, allowing them to manage injuries without significant disruption to their performance.
