"Edwin Diaz"
Read the latest UK headlines, on NewsNow. UK news, analysis and opinion from around the world.
www.newsnow.co.ukHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Edwin Díaz underwent surgery on his throwing elbow to remove loose bodies and is expected to be out through at least the All-Star break, with recovery potentially pushing return to late June or July at the earliest. This update comes from reports tied to his Instagram announcement and corroborating outlets.[1][2]
- The Dodgers placed Díaz on the 15-day injured list due to the elbow issue, and there’s consideration he could be moved to a 60-day IL depending on roster needs; several relievers were noted as possible temporary closers during his absence.[2][1]
- Public reporting through MLB-focused outlets and sports media has tracked velocity dips and performance concerns leading into the surgery, aligning with the elbow issue as the primary cause of reduced effectiveness this season.[1][2]
Quick context:
- Location: London, UK. If you’d like, I can tailor a summary for UK-based outlets or provide a brief on how this affects Dodgers’ bullpen plans for the rest of 2026.
