Edwin Diaz, expected to be the closer for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has been placed on the Injured List due to loose bodies in his right elbow and will undergo a procedure, sidelining him for about three months. His recent struggles, including a 10.50 ERA and decreased velocity, raised concerns after not pitching since April 10. Diaz, who signed a three-year, $69 million contract, was meant to address the team’s ninth-inning issues. In his absence, relievers Alex Vesia and Tanner Scott are top candidates to fill the void.
