The Los Angeles Dodgers activated reliever Blake Treinen from the injured list but placed starting pitcher Eric Lauer on the IL due to elbow inflammation, marking the third starter sidelined recently. Lauer’s injury follows a poor outing against the Cardinals, leaving the team short on pitching depth as they vie for a top playoff seed. The Dodgers are considering calling up pitcher Emmet Sheehan for a spot start while Treinen, who had a 3.52 ERA before his injury, aims to bolster the bullpen. Additionally, reliever Will Klein was transferred to the 60-day IL, ruling him out for the rest of the regular season.
