Dodgers Place Edwin Díaz on Injured List with Right Elbow Issue The Los Angeles Dodgers placed right-handed pitcher Edwin Díaz on the injured list on Monday due to right elbow loose bodies. The decision followed Díaz’s performance in a game against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday, where he allowed three runs without recording an out. In a corresponding move, the club recalled left-handed pitcher Jake Eder from the minors. Díaz, 32, has struggled this season, posting a 10.50 ERA in seven games. His season record is 1-0, but his recent performance has raised concerns. Over his career, Díaz has compiled a 29-36 record with a 2.91 ERA in 527 games. He has 257 saves in 300 opportunities and 849 strikeouts. Manager Dave Roberts acknowledged the decision, stating, “Today was a tough evaluation. I know what it's supposed to look like, and when it doesn't look like that, it gets a little concerning, really. So, I'll have a conversation with him.” Díaz’s four-seam fastball has averaged between 97.2 and 99.1 mph over the past four seasons. However, this season his velocity has dropped significantly, averaging 95.7 mph. During his Sunday game at Coors Field, his fastball reached as low as 92.8 mph. This marks a sharp decline, as he has only thrown six slower fastballs in his career. Jake Eder, 27, was acquired from the Washington Nationals on April 1 in exchange for cash considerations. He spent the season with Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he pitched 5.1 innings and allowed two runs. Eder previously played for the Los Angeles Angels in 2025, making eight appearances with a 4.91 ERA in 18.1 innings. He made his Major League debut on September 17, 2024, with the Chicago White Sox, allowing one run in two innings.#los_angeles_dodgers #dave_roberts #coors_field #edwin_daz #jake_eder
