Treinen pitched a clean eighth inning while striking out a batter to secure a hold in Sunday's 5-1 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Treinen entered to begin the eighth with the Dodgers holding onto a 4-1 lead and retired Jarred Kelenic, Ronald Acuna & Ozzie Albies in order, needing just 11 pitches to get through the frame. It's clear right off the bat that Treinen has the trust of manager Dave Roberts in high leverage situations and could be in the mix for the Dodgers' closer committee while Evan Phillips (hamstring) is sidelined with a hamstring strain.

Treinen (chest) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Sunday, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander is ready for MLB action after a five-game rehab stint with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Treinen surrendered five runs in his first three appearances but finished with back-to-back scoreless outings. The 35-year-old has thrown just five frames in the big leagues since 2021 and could be eased back into high-leverage work.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Treinen (chest) could be activated from the 15-day injured list during the weekend series against Atlanta, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Treinen appeared in back-to-back games with Triple-A Oklahoma on Wednesday and Thursday, allowing one hit over two frames while striking out three over that span. Treinen's return to the Dodgers' bullpen would be welcome one with Joe Kelly dealing with a right groin injury.

The Dodgers have received reports that Treinen is faring well on his rehab assignment, and he's expected to make another appearance for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Treinen has given up five runs over 2.1 innings during his first three outings with Triple-A Oklahoma City, but the team is pleased with how he's pitched, per Harris. It remains to be seen whether Wednesday's appearance at Triple-A will be Treinen's last before being activated from the 15-day injured list.

Treinen (chest) has joined Triple-A Oklahoma City to begin a rehab assignment, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It will be his first game action since he suffered a bruised lung when he was struck in the chest by a comebacker in early March. Since he's missed so much time, Treinen would figure to require a handful of rehab appearances before he's ready to rejoin the Dodgers' bullpen. The 35-year-old hasn't pitched for the Dodgers since 2022, as he's missed most of the last two seasons following shoulder surgery.

Treinen (chest) faced live hitters ahead of Saturday's game against the Mets, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts noted Friday that a rehab assignment could follow shortly after Treinen's session Saturday. Treinen started the season on the 15-day IL after he sustained a bruised lung during spring training. The 35-year-old right hander last played in the majors in 2022 with the Dodgers when he posted a 1.80 ERA and 0.40 WHIP over five innings.

Treinen (chest) faced a pair of live hitters ahead of Sunday's series finale with the Padres, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Treinen was able to face Austin Barnes and Taylor Trammell on Sunday, pitching to his first pair of live hitters since heading to the 15-day injured list March 19. The 35-year-old is expected to have a similar session Thursday before potentially launching a rehab assignment, according to manager Dave Roberts.

Treinen (chest) has yet to face hitters and remains weeks away from a return, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Treinen was hit in the chest by a comebacker during a spring appearance March 9 and has progressed slowly toward a return. The right-handed reliever resumed throwing March 30, but since he hasn't yet pitched to hitters, it's not clear when he may be able to embark upon a minor-league rehab assignment. Once he does get clearance to begin pitching in games again, Treinen will likely need to participate in multiple minor-league outings before he's ready to join the big-league bullpen given how much time he's already missed.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Treinen (chest) is "weeks" away from a return, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Treinen began a throwing program nearly a week ago after suffering a bruised lung when he was struck in the chest by a comebacker in early March. Because he was shut down for so long, he will need time to ramp things back up. A timeline for the veteran reliever should become clear once he's throwing off a mound again.

Treinen (chest) threw long toss from roughly 150 feet Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Saturday marks the first time Treinen has thrown since landing on the injured list March 19 with a bruised lung. He is reportedly still dealing with a bit of discomfort in his chest area, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, so he shouldn't be expected to return anytime soon. A return timeline may emerge once the 35-year-old righty is able to throw off a mound.
