Edwin Díaz Returns to Dodgers Bullpen After Elbow Surgery
The Dodgers closer is back after missing 100 days, completing a rehab assignment with a 3.18 ERA across seven minor league appearances.
The Dodgers officially activated closer Edwin Díaz from the 60-day injured list on Wednesday. Díaz had been sidelined since April 19 after arthroscopic surgery to remove loose bodies from his right elbow. He completed a rehab assignment spanning seven games across three levels, posting a 3.18 ERA with 11 strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings. His return adds a high-leverage, elite strikeout arm to a Dodgers bullpen that has lacked right-handed stability.
