Dodgers reliever Edwin Díaz returns from the 15-day injured list but is not expected to immediately resume his usual ninth-inning closer duties. Díaz, a three-time All-Star, says his goal is to work back into the role he previously filled for the team.
Across outlets, the focus is on Díaz’s plan to regain the closer position rather than any immediate assignment change. The reports describe his mindset and comments indicating the organization brought him in specifically for late-inning leverage, even if his first games back may involve a different bullpen role as he ramps up.
Neither account suggests a final decision has been made for his exact usage upon activation. Instead, both frame the next stretch as a transition period, with Díaz aiming to reclaim the performance and responsibilities that defined his earlier stint as Los Angeles’ primary closer.
