Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced that reliever Edwin Diaz will be placed on the injured list due to neck inflammation, marking his second injury this season after elbow surgery in April. Diaz has struggled significantly, posting an 11.85 ERA in 16 games. He will consult with spine specialist Dr. Robert Watkins for further evaluation, while Tanner Scott will assume the closer role during his absence. Roberts remains hopeful that understanding Diaz’s condition may explain his recent performance issues.
