Blake Treinen Earns Save On Thursday
2 days agoLos Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Blake Treinen got the call in the ninth inning to seal the victory against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. Treinen allowed a leadoff single to second baseman Gleyber Torres. He then struck out Riley Greene for his first out. However, he then walked Spencer Torkelson. Treinen was able to bounce back and retire the next two batters, one with a strikeout to seal the victory. Earlier in the offseason, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed that Tanner Scott would be the primary closer. However, through their first three games, Scott has earned just one save, with Alex Vesia and Treinen earning the others. In Thursday's contest, Scott entered the game in the eighth inning. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor how the Dodgers deploy their high-leverage relievers. However, given the elite offensive firepower in Los Angeles, both Scott and Treinen could have value in standard formats, even if they share save opportunities.
