The Los Angeles Dodgers reinstate closer Edwin Díaz from the injured list after he misses about a month with a neck injury. The move comes on Friday, when Díaz becomes available to pitch and is used out of the bullpen for the series opener against the San Francisco Giants.
Multiple outlets report that Díaz had been sidelined for roughly a month due to the neck issue and that his return marks a specific target for the Dodgers’ bullpen plans. Yahoo Sports notes Díaz’s role as the team’s closer and provides his early Dodgers statistics, including a 2–2 record and an 11.85 ERA across 16 games. Other coverage focuses on the same core development—his activation and immediate availability—without adding conflicting details about the injury or the timing of the return.
