Dodgers Closer Edwin Diaz (Elbow) to Begin a Rehab Assignment
Diaz is expected to return to the Dodgers bullpen after the All-Star break following two live batting practices and a rehab start, manager Dave Roberts said.
- On Saturday, Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed reliever Edwin Diaz began a rehab assignment at Single-A Ontario following two successful live batting practice sessions.
- Diaz landed on the injured list April 22 after undergoing a procedure to remove loose bodies from his elbow, which carried an estimated three-month recovery timeline.
- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts reported that Diaz reached 94-95 mph during practice against Kike Hernandez, with the pitcher stating, "I feel way better than early in the season."
- Without Diaz in the closer role, Los Angeles relievers maintain a 3.77 ERA, ranking fifth in the National League, as the right-hander targets return after the All-Star break.
- Following weekend games against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Dodgers travel to the Bronx next Friday to begin a series against the New York Yankees.
