Blake Treinen Capitalizing on High-Leverage Role in Dodgers Bullpen
Treinen has been highly effective recently, posting a clean 0.00 ERA over his last 14 days to lower his season ERA to 3.55. He has stepped into a vital late-inning role for the first-place Dodgers, who currently lead the division with a 40-22 record. With late-inning arms Edwin Diaz, Evan Phillips, and Brusdar Graterol all on the injured list, Treinen is locked in as the primary setup option in front of closer Tanner Scott.
Our season projection expects Treinen to finish with a 3.81 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP over 59.0 innings of work. While his current 1.51 WHIP indicates he has dealt with excessive traffic, he has successfully limited damage and represents a massive improvement over his difficult 2025 campaign. His rebound is genuine, making him a reliable holds option even if his path to saves is blocked.
With the mid-week slate active, the Dodgers complete their series in Arizona today before heading home to host the Angels for three games. These matchups favor Los Angeles, offering plenty of late-inning leads for Treinen to protect. He is a premier option in holds formats but can be safely benched in standard leagues. Verdict: Sit.
