Roberts Has No Answer on Díaz's Closer Status
The Dodgers manager deflected when asked whether Díaz should be moved to lower-leverage situations, suggesting a lack of viable alternatives.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was asked whether Edwin Díaz would continue pitching in the ninth inning or be moved to lower-leverage work while he works through struggles. Roberts responded by asking for another option, implying no clear alternative closer is available. The comment signals ongoing concern about Díaz's effectiveness without a concrete plan to change his role. This leaves Díaz's high-leverage status uncertain heading forward.
