The issue is serious enough that the A's can already rule Treinen out for games that could take place weeks from now. Treinen struggled prior to this injury, he owned a 4.91 ERA, 1.62 WHIP in 58 2/3 innings. After having an excellent 2018 season, Treinen struggled mightily in 2019 and will have to settle for a setup role in 2020 for the Athletics.

Blake Treinen will not pitch again this season due to a stress reaction in his back.
