Diaz Looks Diminished in Return from Elbow Surgery
The Dodgers' $69M closer missed 85 games with an elbow issue and has allowed 4 runs on 6 hits across just 3 innings since returning.
Edwin Diaz underwent arthroscopic elbow surgery in April and missed 85 games before returning. In four appearances since coming back, he has pitched 3 innings, surrendering 6 hits and 4 runs. He blew a save Friday by leaving a slider over the middle of the plate, leading to a walk-off homer. His performance raises questions about whether he has fully recovered from the elbow procedure.
