6 years agoThe Oakland Athletics are placing closer Blake Treinen on the 10-day IL with a shoulder strain with no immediate timetable for a return. Treinen has struggled of late giving up three runs in his last outing, and runs in three of his previous five games. After a dominant 2018, Treinen has still found success nailing down 16 saves, but holds an underwhelming 4.08 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 30 games this season. Liam Hendriks locked down the save on Saturday and should be considered the front-runner for the closing job while Treinen is sidelined. Hendriks should be scooped up wherever available.--Riley Mrack - RotoBaller
