The Los Angeles Dodgers are nearing the activation of Blake Treinen, who has been sidelined with right elbow inflammation since mid-June. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed the right-hander has completed his rehab assignments and is expected to rejoin the bullpen soon. To manage a nine-day homestand, the team plans to utilize a sixth starting pitcher against the Washington Nationals, with Emmet Sheehan considered as a potential option. Roster management remains a priority, as the club must address the status of Gavin Stone, who completes his 30-day rehab stint this Friday. Additionally, the team continues to evaluate the pitching status of Shohei Ohtani, though no firm date for his return to the mound has been established. Justin Wrobleski remains with the club as a relief option while the organization navigates multiple injury recovery timelines.
