Los Angeles Dodgers have made significant changes to their bullpen due to injury concerns. Blake Treinen has been activated from the injured list after successfully completing back-to-back minor league games. Concurrently, closer Evan Phillips has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a Grade 1 right hamstring strain, which occurred when his spike caught in the grass during a catch session. The Dodgers are hoping it's a minimum stint. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed uncertainty about who will assume closing duties in Phillips' absence, indicating a flexible approach to managing game situations.
The return of Blake Treinen was dampened by loss of an even more important #Dodgers reliever as closer Evan Phillips was placed on 15-day IL because of a R hamstring strain. Who will close for LA now? "I honestly don't even know," MGR Dave Roberts said. https://t.co/B0nuB3m6e7

RHP Joe Kelly, RHP Daniel Hudson, LHP Alex Vesia and RHP Blake Treinen are most likely to get closing opportunities for #Dodgers. Evan Phillips suffered mild hamstring strain when he caught a spike in the grass while playing catch on Saturday.
#Dodgers MGR Dave Roberts, when asked who closes games now with Evan Phillips on IL: "I honestly don't even know. We'll see. I think it's more of just managing the game and however the ninth inning falls out. We'll just sort of try to win every inning and manage the leverage."
