The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced that closer Edwin Diaz has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to loose bodies in his right elbow. Diaz, 32, is in his first season with the Dodgers and has recorded four saves along with 10 strikeouts, but he has struggled significantly, posting a 10.50 ERA.
