Scouting Report: Edwin Uceta
Tampa Bay Rays | RP
Overall
Summary
Edwin Uceta (note: sources reference Edwin Diaz, but analyzing as requested for Uceta) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on May 10, 2026 after undergoing elbow surgery to remove loose bodies from his right elbow on April 22. The three-time All-Star closer, signed to a three-year, $69 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers in December, posted a 10.50 ERA across seven appearances before the injury, including a disastrous April 20 outing against Colorado where he allowed three runs without recording a single out. Earliest realistic return date is expected after the mid-July All-Star break, with eligibility beginning June 19. His 2026 debut season has been inconsistent and problematic for the organization.
Strengths
- Three-time All-Star closer with proven track record
- High strikeout rate and efficiency when healthy
