Diaz is scheduled for surgery Wednesday to remove loose bodies from his right elbow and will be sidelined until the second half, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.
The injury provides an explanation as to why Diaz's velocity and results have been down early on this season. He was placed on the 15-day injured list earlier Monday and will be a candidate to be shifted to the 60-day IL when/if the Dodgers need a clear a spot on the 40-man roster. Manager Dave Roberts on Monday declined to name a closer replacement for Diaz, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. Tanner Scott, Alex Vesia and Blake Treinen are the primary candidates to pitch the ninth inning for the Dodgers.
