The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-jd-martinez-injury-move-promote-michael-busch" rel="noopener">Dodgers are hitting their stride</a> at the right time as they have been scorching hot in the month of August. The biggest key for them down the stretch will be keeping guys healthy. As the season has gone on, Los Angeles has encountered more and more injury issues, and lucky for them, they have Clayton Kershaw back now. However, one pitcher that is still out is Blake Treinen, and manager Dave Roberts gave an unfortunate injury update for him on Wednesday.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-los-angeles-makes-key-blake-treinen-injury-move-ahead-playoff-stretch-run" rel="noopener">Blake Treinen is heading to</a> the Oklahoma City Dodgers as it’s in the best interest for the team and himself to pitch there before he comes back to Los Anegeles. Still, Dave Roberts told the media that it <a href="https://twitter.com/THEREAL_DV/status/1694460940157153669" rel="noopener">would be a “long shot”</a> for Treinen to pitch again this season for the Dodgers.</p><p>Treinen hasn’t been able to pitch very often this season as he has only appeared in five games, but he has been very solid, posting a 1.80 ERA in limited action. He was terrific last season, appearing in 72 games and finishing the year with 1.99 ERA. When Treinen is fully healthy, he is very tough to hit.</p><p>It’s looking like the Dodgers will likely be the two seed in the National League when the playoffs roll around. Los Angeles is currently 76-48 and 4.5 games back of the Atlanta Braves for the one seed. The Dodgers have a big 7.5 game lead on the three seed Milwaukee Brewers, so it would be hard for LA to fall at all. It should be an exciting postseason for the Dodgers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In a short series, every game matters, and perhaps the last team in baseball that needs more help could get it in the form of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-dustin-may-blake-treinens-mlb-playoff-availability-up-in-the-air-amid-injury-recoveries/">impending returns</a> of pitchers Dustin May and Blake Treinen.</p><p>Speaking with reporters before the start of the NLDS, manager Dave Roberts provided a positive injury update regarding May and Treinen. However, as per Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register, Roberts did not provide a clear-cut answer yet on whether or not they could make the Dodgers’ NLDS roster.</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/billplunkettocr/status/1579603020165578752">Plunkett wrote</a>: “Blake Treinen and Dustin May are “healthy enough” to be available for NLDS but Dave Roberts says #Dodgers are still “talking through” final roster decisions.”</p><p>Blake Treinen had been one of the more lights-out relievers in the MLB in the past. The 34-year old was coming off an impressive 2021 when he pitched to the tune of a 1.99 ERA, 85 strikeouts and seven saves in 72.1 innings pitched (72 games). Unfortunately, injury problems essentially robbed him of a 2022 season. Treinen only pitched five innings total this season due to shoulder issues, none bigger than the partially torn capsule on his right shoulder.</p><p>Meanwhile, Dustin May made his return following Tommy John <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-dustin-may-gets-crucial-update-in-return-from-tommy-john-surgery/">surgery</a> back in August. He then proceeded to start six games, but it was clear he was still yet to find the groove he had in 2021 prior to going under the knife. He soon <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-la-makes-tough-decision-on-dustin-may-ahead-of-2022-mlb-playoffs/">landed</a> on the Injured List in late September due to back problems.</p><p>The Dodgers are still debating if keeping them out of the NLDS for them to come back even healthier in a potential NLCS is the wiser move, <a href="https://twitter.com/juanctoribio/status/1579603838776250368">according to Juan Toribio</a>.</p><p>“Dodgers manager Dave Roberts also said Blake Treinen and Dustin May are healthy heading into the NLDS. They’re still talking through roster decisions, but they’re discussing the possibility of keeping May off the roster and continue building him up for a potential NLCS,” Toribio wrote.</p><p>While players’ health should be of utmost priority, it’s a little confusing for the Dodgers to be thinking of the NLCS at this juncture. Nothing is guaranteed in the postseason, and the Dodgers, of all teams, should know this. The Dodgers have only won one World Series over the past ten years despite winning 73 more games than any other team <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/mlb/ask/best-record-in-mlb-over-the-past-10-seasons">during that span</a>.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
