4 injured Dodgers pitchers — Tony Gonsolin, Brusdar Graterol, David Value, and Blake Treinen — threw bullpen classes at Chase Area on Wednesday.
After the classes, according to Bill Plunkett within the Orange County Register, Dave Roberts mentioned Graterol and Treinen, each of whom have been positioned on the IL simply shortly after coming back from extra severe accidents, may very well be near returning.
Roberts went into extra element on Treinen’s outing:
“For me, it regarded regular,” Roberts mentioned of Treinen. “He wasn’t guarding. It was clear. The stuff was good. So I count on him to face hitters within the coming days.”
Treinen was placed on the IL final week, backdated to September 7, so he’ll be eligible to return per week from now. With such a brief stint, he possible wouldn’t want a rehab project, so hopefully he’ll return when he’s eligible.
Getting Treinen and Graterol again could be an enormous increase for a Los Angeles bullpen which may find yourself with extra deserving arms than roster spots within the postseason. With a restrict of simply 13 pitchers and probably as many as six “starters” on the roster (even when a few of them is perhaps used as lengthy relievers), there may solely be room for seven true relievers. That can make for some powerful choices for a L.A. administration crew that has to decide on between Treinen, Graterol, Evan Phillips, Craig Kimbrel, Alex Vesia, Caleb Ferguson, Chris Martin, Tommy Kahnle, Yency Almonte, David Value, and others.
