Dodgers' Edwin Diaz: Undergoes elbow surgery Wednesday
Diaz shared on his personal Instagram account Wednesday that he underwent surgery on his throwing elbow.
Diaz's surgery was a procedure to remove loose bodies from his right elbow. The star closer is projected to be sidelined through the All-Star break, at minimum. Tanner Scott, Alex Vesia and Blake Treinen are among the candidates to pick up save chances for Los Angeles for however long Diaz remains out of action.

Dodgers' Edwin Diaz: Out until after All-Star break
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.

Dodgers' Edwin Diaz: Lands on IL, out 2-to-3 months
The Dodgers placed Diaz on the 15-day injured list Monday due to loose bodies in his right elbow.
Diaz had been shut down for over a week due to concerns around the noticeable dip in his fastball velocity. Sunday's outing against the Rockies was his first since April 10, but he failed to record an out while allowing three runs on three hits and a walk, with his fastball averaging 95.4 mph compared to the 97.3 mph during the 2025 regular season. Per Bob Nightengale of USA Today, Diaz will undergo arthroscopic surgery to remove the loose bodies from his right elbow. It's a procedure that typically takes 2-to-3 months to recover from, so Diaz may not be ready to return until late June or early July at the earliest. Alex Vesia and Tanner Scott are the top candidates to take over closing duties for the Dodgers for as long as Diaz is sidelined.

Dodgers' Edwin Diaz: Fails to record out Sunday
Diaz entered in the eighth inning and allowed three runs on three hits and a walk without recording an out in Sunday's loss to the Rockies.
Diaz made his first appearance since April 10, with the Dodgers trailing in the eighth inning, and failed to record an out as the Rockies extended their lead. The right-hander didn't allow hard contact, with no exit velocities above 88.0 mph, but his own velocity was down, as the 32-year-old's fastball averaged 95.4 mph Sunday after sitting at 97.3 mph last regular season. The loss in fastball velocity has been a prominent storyline in the first few weeks of the season, though there has been no indication of an injury. With a 10.50 ERA, 2.33 WHIP and four saves across six innings in 2026, Diaz's usage, velocity and effectiveness will be worth monitoring moving forward.

Dodgers' Edwin Diaz: Passed over for save chance Tuesday
Diaz threw a bullpen session Tuesday but didn't get called upon for a save opportunity in the Dodgers' 2-1 win over the Mets. His status is set to re-evaluated before Wednesday's contest, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Neither the Dodgers nor Diaz have indicated that he's hurt, and manager Dave Roberts said Monday that he expects the reliever to be available during the current series versus New York. However, the team opted to have the veteran closer throw a bullpen session Tuesday, which essentially ruled him out from being able to pitch during the contest later that evening. Diaz has displayed decreased velocity early in the campaign, though he's noted that his velocity has often been down early in previous seasons before eventually ticking back up. The missed opportunity for a save Tuesday is frustrating for fantasy managers who invested heavily in Diaz, but for now, the best course of action seems to be to stick with the reliever with the expectation that he'll get back to closing sooner rather than later.

Dodgers' Edwin Diaz: Will pitch during Mets series
Manager Dave Roberts stated Monday that he expects Diaz to pitch during Los Angeles' three-game series against the Mets, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Diaz has passed manual testing conducted by LA's training staff to rule out any injuries, and the team isn't concerned about the flamethrower's health despite the fact that he didn't feel quite right after Friday's appearance. Diaz has since noted that he's feeling "great", per Jack Harris of the California Post, and the expectation is that he'll be available to pitch during the team's three-game series against New York if there's a save chance.

Dodgers' Edwin Diaz: Not hurt, but viewed as day-to-day
Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Diaz is being treated as "day-to-day" as the Dodgers look to determine why the reliever's velocity has been down to begin the season, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Over his first six appearances of the season, Diaz is averaging 95.8 miles per hour with his four-seam fastball. While that's a notable decline from the 97.2 mph he averaged during 2025 with the Mets, Sonja Chen of MLB.com notes that Diaz's velocity in past years has typically been down in the spring before picking up as the season progresses. Diaz has more or less acknowledged as much, and he hasn't indicated to the Dodgers that he's been pitching through any sort of physical concern. That being said, Roberts told Chen that he plans to "tread lightly" with Diaz's usage in the short term, so the right-hander won't necessarily be called upon for every save situation that arises. Despite the drop in velocity, Diaz was able to convert his first four save chances of the season before getting touched up for three earned runs on four hits and one walk over an inning during his most recent appearance Friday against the Rangers.

Dodgers' Edwin Diaz: Team monitoring velocity
Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that the Dodgers are monitoring Diaz's fastball velocity, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.
Diaz had a rough outing Friday, allowing three runs in the ninth inning against Texas to blow his first save since joining the Dodgers. More notably, his fastball velocity is averaging 95.9 mph in the early going, which is over a tick below his 97.3-mph average velocity last season. Diaz wasn't available to pitch Saturday after throwing 23 pitches Friday, and Roberts didn't commit to having him available Sunday either, saying, "We'll see how he feels tomorrow," per Harris. However, Roberts also noted that Diaz's velocity isn't much of a concern while pointing out that it's usually lower early in the campaign, so fantasy managers probably have no need to panic.

Dodgers' Edwin Diaz: Blows save, snags win
Diaz (1-0) allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two over one inning, earning the win after taking a blown save versus the Rangers on Friday.
Diaz was sloppy in the ninth despite throwing 19 of 23 pitches for strikes. He allowed a two-run home run to Evan Carter and an RBI single to Ezequiel Duran, which tied the game. Max Muncy was the hero for the Dodgers, walking it off with a solo shot to give Diaz the win despite his poor showing. Over six innings this season, Diaz has allowed four runs with a 10:4 K:BB, but he's also converted four of five save chances. As long as outings like this don't become the norm, his role as closer is safe.
