Los Angeles Dodgers Lose Key Bullpen Arm for World Series
The Los Angeles Dodgers have lost a key bullpen arm with the news that Blake Treinen will miss the World Series due to a shoulder injury.
Treinen, who has been one of the Dodgers' most reliable relievers this season, was injured in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against the Atlanta Braves. He underwent an MRI on Monday, which revealed a Grade 2 strain of his right shoulder.
The Dodgers now lose their best multi-inning reliever for the World Series. Treinen has been one of the most dominant relievers in baseball this season, with a 1.80 ERA and 10.2 strikeouts per nine innings.
The Dodgers will have to find a way to replace Treinen's innings in the bullpen, and they may have to do so without their closer, Kenley Jansen, who is also dealing with an injury.
The Dodgers are hoping that Treinen will be able to return for the playoffs next season, but for now, they will have to find a way to replace him in the World Series.
The Dodgers still have a lot of talent in their bullpen, but Treinen's absence is a big blow. He has been one of their most reliable relievers all season, and his injury could make it difficult for them to win the World Series.
The Dodgers will need to find a way to replace Treinen's innings, and they will likely have to do so with a combination of relievers. They could also try to use a starter in a relief role, but that could put a strain on their rotation.
The Dodgers are still the favorites to win the World Series, but Treinen's injury is a significant setback. They will need to find a way to replace his production in the bullpen, or they could be in trouble.
