Walker Buehler and Blake Treinen faced hitters in a simulated game at Chase Field on Wednesday, their first live action since undergoing surgeries last year.
Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen underwent right shoulder surgery to repair his labrum and rotator cuff. The procedure often requires 10 months of rehabilitation., the reliever this week described his rehab as a grind. In his most recent bullpen sessions, his velocity reached only 86-87 mph. And after he initially hoped for an August return, his odds of returning at all were starting to dwindle.
In catch play on Tuesday, he said he made a few “tweaks” that led to “huge strides” in his delivery. Then on Wednesday, he unexpectedly followed Buehler during the simulated game, reaching 94 mph with his fastball in an auspicious inning of work.Roberts added that, given he’ll have to build up to only one inning, Treinen’s timetable might now be ahead of Buehler’s — though Treinen said he still doesn’t have a return date targeted yet.
