LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Eric Lauer went on the injured list with left elbow inflammation Wednesday.
The left-hander gave up seven runs and eight hits in three innings of a 13-8 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. He is 7-2 with a 4.50 ERA in 14 games, including 12 starts.
“I felt good warming up, felt good in the bullpen and then got out there and kind of just lost it,” Lauer said after the loss, not mentioning a possible injury. “I think I might have been tinkering a little too much in between. I don't think that there's something glaringly wrong.”
The Dodgers acquired Lauer on May 17 from Toronto in exchange for cash. He was 1-5 with a 6.69 ERA in eight games for the Blue Jays. Last season, Lauer was 9-2 with a 3.18 ERA.
To make room on the 40-man roster, relief pitcher Will Klein was added to the 60-day IL.
Reliever Blake Treinen returned after being on the IL since June 20 with right elbow inflammation.
The right-hander made seven rehab appearances between Low-A Ontario and Triple-A Oklahoma City, posting a 0.00 ERA with eight strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings. Treinen is 4-1 with a 3.52 ERA in 29 games for the Dodgers this season.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Two people were killed and the suspect is dead after a shooting in a downtown Minneapolis apartment building Wednesday afternoon, according to police.
Three Minneapolis police officers were also injured, including two of them from gunshot wounds, police Sgt. Garrett Parten said at a press conference on Wednesday evening. All three officers are in stable condition, according to Hennepin County Medical Center.
A 911 call about shots fired at the building came in just after 4:30 p.m. and officers entered the building three minutes later to find victims inside the high-rise, Parten said.
They heard more gunshots and followed them to a higher floor, where they found “a haze that significantly limited their visibility,” he said.
“This is a tremendously tragic event and our thoughts and prayers are with the families, the loved ones of those who lost their lives, those who were injured and with the injured officers and their families,” Parten said.
One of the victims was fatally shot at the scene, and one died after arriving at the hospital, he said.
Parten said it was not immediately clear how the shooter died.
Hennepin County Medical Center said it received seven patients but didn’t share additional information about the conditions of those wounded.
Julius Bailey was sitting outside of his apartment building when he heard gun shots and saw a man he recognized as a resident of the building holding a pistol. Bailey said he heard a woman screaming and immediately started running away. He said he counted eight shots.
Bailey said that he recognized the man holding the gun because he was someone who was known for showing off his weapon. Bailey said he has tried to avoid the man since moving into the building in June.
“I could tell he was trouble,” he said.
Chris Miller, who also lives in the apartment building, said he heard a rapid succession of gunshots and quickly ran outside for safety. He said he believed he knew who carried out the shooting and that he encountered someone in the hallway with a handgun earlier this week and reported that person to management.
Video posted to social media showed police aiming rifles upward at an apartment tower near the Minneapolis Convention Center. Officials warned residents to avoid the densely populated Loring Park neighborhood nearby.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said in a post on social media that state officials are on the ground helping local law enforcement respond to the shooting.
“Grateful to law enforcement actively working to ensure the safety of our neighbors in Downtown Minneapolis this afternoon,” Walz said. “Minnesota is praying for our first responders.”
The FBI is responding to the shooting and “will offer any and all resources necessary to assist local authorities,” Director Kash Patel said in a post on the social platform X.
Associated Press journalists Hallie Golden in Seattle, Safiyah Riddle in Los Angeles and Josh Kelety in Phoenix contributed to this report.
