Report: Dodgers Placing Closer Edwin Diaz (Undisclosed) on IL
The Dodgers said the All-Star closer will be evaluated Wednesday after allowing 9 runs and 3 blown saves in six appearances.
- Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced Tuesday that closer Edwin Diaz is headed to the injured list with neck inflammation, with the 32-year-old veteran undergoing further evaluation Wednesday.
- Diaz returned from a 60-day IL stint on July 29 after elbow surgery, but he has struggled since returning, posting a 12.91 ERA across nine appearances and blowing three of six save opportunities.
- During Monday's 11-5 victory against the Colorado Rockies, Diaz allowed three earned runs and four hits in one inning, though Roberts had previously expressed confidence in the struggling reliever.
- In a corresponding move, the team recalled right-handed pitcher Emmet Sheehan from Triple-A Oklahoma City, and with Diaz sidelined, the Dodgers will likely turn to Tanner Scott for ninth-inning duties.
- The organization remains optimistic that Diaz will return this season to bolster the bullpen for the playoffs, hoping this break allows the veteran to recover physically and reset his mechanics.
