Blake Treinen has been activated from the 60-day injured list, while Eric Lauer was placed on the 15-day IL with left elbow inflammation. To create 40-man roster space, the Dodgers transferred Will Klein to the 60-day IL, per Dodgers staff.

Blake Treinen returns to the bullpen after a stint on the injured list. Treinen has been a reliable arm out of the pen this season and his activation adds depth to a bullpen that’s been carefully managed through September. The timing comes as the team navigates health concerns across the pitching staff.

Eric Lauer hit the shelf after a rough outing on September 1 against St. Louis, when he allowed seven runs. Left elbow inflammation is a legitimate concern for any pitcher, and the move to the IL—even the 15-day version—suggests caution heading into the stretch run. Lauer had been a workhorse for us this season, and losing him to injury is exactly what we don’t need right now.

Will Klein moves to the 60-day IL, which effectively sidelines him for the remainder of the regular season. It’s a pragmatic roster move to make space, but it speaks to how thin things have gotten on the injury front.

This shuffle reflects the Dodgers’ balancing act in September: we need bodies, but we also need them healthy. Treinen’s return helps. Lauer’s absence hurts. Klein’s IL move was necessary but another reminder of how September rosters are shaped by what the training room allows, not just what we’d want on the field.
