Summary
Dave Roberts said Edwin Diaz is not expected to miss the rest of 2026 after the Dodgers placed their closer on the 15-day injured list with neck inflammation.
Los Angeles sent Diaz back for a Wednesday exam with Dr. Watkins after Roberts said the issue surfaced Monday night and may have lingered for about a week.
The club has not set a return timetable, leaving open whether Diaz could be back in weeks or closer to the postseason.
Diaz had already struggled since returning from April elbow surgery, allowing 11 earned runs in 7 2/3 innings before this latest setback.
