Dodgers place Eric Lauer on injured list with left elbow inflammation

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed starting pitcher Eric Lauer on the injured list Wednesday due to left elbow inflammation. Lauer’s roster move follows a Tuesday outing against the St. Louis Cardinals in which he allowed seven runs and eight hits over three innings in a 13-8 loss. Lauer, who holds a 7-2 record with a 4.50 ERA this season, reported no specific injury after the game and stated he felt prepared during warmups. To clear space on the 40-man roster, the team placed relief pitcher Will Klein on the 60-day injured list. Simultaneously, the Dodgers activated right-handed reliever Blake Treinen, who had been sidelined since June 20 with right elbow inflammation. Treinen completed seven minor league rehab appearances, allowing no earned runs over 6 1/3 innings.
