Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Edwin Díaz has been placed on the injured list due to loose bodies in his right elbow, a condition characterized by small fragments of bone or gristle floating in the joint. This injury has caused him to struggle in recent appearances, allowing three runs in each of his last two outings. Following the diagnosis, the Dodgers announced that Díaz would undergo surgery to address the issue, with a vague timeline suggesting he could return in the second half of the season, after the All-Star break. Recovery from the typical elbow arthroscopy procedure usually takes six to eight weeks, allowing Díaz to begin training within two to three weeks post-surgery. In his absence, the Dodgers are considering several options for the closer role, including Tanner Scott, who has shown improvement, Alex Vesia, who has not allowed a run in his first ten appearances, and Will Klein, who could provide a right-handed option despite lacking closing experience. The team hopes for a swift recovery for Díaz as they navigate the upcoming games.
