Blake Treinen, a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, shut out the Atlanta Braves on Monday without giving up a run. Since coming off a 15-day injured list stint in August, Treinen has been on fire, which he feels has improved his mechanics and health as the year comes to a close. Treinen missed sixteen days after landing on the IL due to left hip soreness.
Although being placed on injured reserve (IL) is often something that every player fears, Treinen believes that his time there may have “been a blessing in disguise.” “I believe that having time to prioritise my health and not feeling under pressure to perform is important. While he’s in Illinois, I can work on a few things,” Treinen said to Kirsten Watson, according SportsNet LA. “I believe that may have cleared up a few things. Mechanically, things definitely feel more seamless. I don’t feel like I’m constantly battling with myself. My delivery’s feel has kind of been up and down for the entire year. Right now, things feel fairly nice.
