Blake Treinen: Everything you need to know

Treinen earned a save against the Rockies on Monday by striking out the only batter he faced. Los Angeles held a 5-3 lead heading into the ninth inning and initially turned to lefty Alex Vesia, who retired two of the three batters he faced. When Colorado decided to send up righty Braxton Fulford as a pinch hitter, the Dodgers countered with the right-handed Treinen. That proved to be a fruitful move, as Treinen needed just four pitches to set Fulford down on strikes. The save was Treinen's first in the regular season since April 9 of last year. He hasn't been in the Dodgers' closer mix even with Edwin Diaz (elbow) out of commission, and Tanner Scott remains the team's most desirable target for saves, though he was likely unavailable Monday after having pitched each of the two previous days.

Treinen pitched a perfect inning and picked up his sixth hold while striking out a batter in a 4-0 win over San Diego on Wednesday. Treinen entered in the seventh inning and retired the side in order, maintaining the 3-0 lead for the Dodgers. The 37-year-old's scoreless inning marked his fifth such frame in his past six appearances. The right-hander has a 3.31 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB through his first 16.1 innings while filling a setup role that's helped net him six holds.

Treinen is okay after being hit in the head with a batted ball during batting practice prior to Saturday's game against Colorado, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Treinen was evaluated for a head injury following the incident. He warmed up in the bullpen during the game but ultimately did not appear in the contest, so it appears that a stint on the injured list won't be necessary.
