Injured Dodgers Reliever’s Injury May Not Be Season-Ending
A Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher was thought to be out for the year, but the team said there's still hope he can return.
Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Blake Treinen suffered an injury that was initially believed to be season-ending, but he may still have a place in the 2026 season. On June 2, 2026, President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman informed reporters that Treinen could return to the team. According to Friedman, Treinen was not included in the roster for the National League Division Series, but this does not rule out his potential participation in later rounds if the Dodgers maintain their winning streak.
The team's official statement indicates that the decision regarding Treinen's return is not yet final, as they continue to monitor his condition. Treinen's shoulder soreness, which he experienced after warming up in the bullpen on September 26, did not require surgical intervention. This is not the first time Treinen has faced an injury this season; he spent much of the year on the injured list due to elbow inflammation.
Despite this setback, the pitcher's comeback could still lead to another World Series victory for the Dodgers.
