Blake Treinen Expected to Bounce Back in 2026
"I expect big things. Last year was an outlier of a season. He obviously didn't have a good year. I think he's excited about 2026. He's kind of got that bad taste in his mouth as far as individual performance. He's confident, he's healthy, he looks good and he's been throwing the baseball really well all spring."
"It is literally just sometimes things aren't working and I wish for their sake, for our team, our organization, our ownership that I'm better in those spots. I know that's in the heart of my teammates too. Sometimes you just don't have answer. You just have to find something to cling to and keep plugging away every day."
"Treinen struggled last season, posting a 5.40 ERA through 32 appearances - the worst season total of his career. A forearm injury kept him on the sidelines from May to July, but upon returning his ERA sharply rose, especially in Sept. 2025."
Blake Treinen, a veteran right-handed reliever for the Los Angeles Dodgers, struggled significantly in 2025, posting a 5.40 ERA across 32 appearances—his worst season. A forearm injury sidelined him from May to July, and upon his return, his performance deteriorated sharply, particularly in September with a concerning 8.31 ERA in the postseason. Manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence in Treinen's comeback potential for 2026, noting his improved health, confidence, and strong spring training performance. Treinen acknowledged his frustrations with his underperformance but remains committed to resetting and delivering for his team.
