“Sasaki Shines in Near-Perfect Outing, But Dodgers’ Dramatic Collapse Seals Walk-Off Loss to Rangers”
Treinen, who has two saves and a 3.38 ERA this year, first felt something in his arm after pitching an inning against the Chicago Cubs last Sunday. That day, he struck out three batters but also gave up a run on two hits and averaged less than 93 mph on the two fastballs he threw — almost two ticks lower than his normal velocity.

This week, the Dodgers had tried to avoid using Treinen, hoping the rest would alleviate the issue. However, while warming up in the ninth inning on Friday, Treinen reported more tightness to the team. It was enough for the Dodgers to put him on the IL and cut short Phillips’ triple-A rehab assignment so he could pitch on Saturday.
