Scouting Report: Elias Díaz
Overall
Summary
Edwin Díaz, the Los Angeles Dodgers' three-time All-Star closer signed to a three-year, $69 million deal in December 2025, was transferred to the 60-day injured list on May 10, 2026, after undergoing arthroscopic elbow surgery on April 22 to remove loose bodies from his right elbow. The 32-year-old had a disastrous 2026 debut with a 10.50 ERA across seven appearances before the injury, including an April 20 outing where he failed to record an out while allowing three runs. He is not expected to return until after the All-Star break in mid-July at the earliest. The move was procedural to clear a 40-man roster spot for relief pitcher Wyatt Mills.
Strengths
- Three-time All-Star closer with proven track record
- Expected to begin playing catch later in May once stitches are removed
