The Dodgers activate reliever Edwin Díaz off the injured list and option Landon Knack to the minor leagues. The move comes with about a week and a half remaining in the regular season, giving Díaz a limited window to pitch enough to improve his chances of making the team’s postseason roster.
The reports frame the activation as a roster decision tied to timing and opportunity. Díaz, who signed a three-year contract with the Dodgers in December, has not been available earlier in the season due to the injury stint. Yahoo Sports describes his recent situation as creating a “slim chance” to earn a spot, while noting the Dodgers’ need to evaluate his readiness in the final stretch. In parallel, the optioning of Knack reflects a corresponding change to the active bullpen.
Taken together, the outlets agree on the roster actions and the timeframe, while emphasizing different degrees of urgency around Díaz’s remaining opportunity. Both accounts present the move as conditional on his performance in the final regular-season games.
