3 Sep
Summary
- Los Angeles Dodgers have reduced their starting pitcher count.
- Eric Lauer placed on injured list due to elbow inflammation.
- Blake Treinen activated from 60-day injured list to replace Lauer.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently facing a reduced pitching staff, with only four starting pitchers remaining available. This situation developed on Wednesday, just hours before the team's scheduled game against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Left-handed pitcher Eric Lauer was surprisingly placed on the injured list. The official reason cited for his absence is left elbow inflammation. This places an immediate strain on the team's rotation.
In a corresponding move, the Dodgers activated right-handed pitcher Blake Treinen. Treinen returns to the active roster after being on the 60-day injured list. To accommodate Treinen on the 40-man roster, right-hander Will Klein was transferred to the 60-day IL.
