The Los Angeles Dodgers are placing closer Edwin Díaz back on the injured list, according to multiple reports citing team sources. The move comes a day after Díaz appears in a late-game situation in the team’s 11–5 win over the Colorado Rockies, during which he allows runs in the ninth inning.
The reports describe the decision as another setback for Díaz after a period of struggles. Yahoo Sports, including reporting attributed to The Athletic’s Katie Woo, frames the placement as following a run of poor appearances. The Athletic also reports the Dodgers are returning Díaz to the IL less than a month after he is activated off the 60-day injured list. While the outlets agree on the roster move and its timing, they do not provide a single consistent public explanation for the underlying injury in the excerpts provided.
