Edwin Díaz Expected to Anchor Dodgers Bullpen After Postseason Rebound

Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes expects Edwin Díaz to anchor the bullpen next season following a strong postseason rebound. After signing a $69 million contract, Díaz endured an injury-ravaged regular season featuring an 8.68 ERA while missing time for elbow and neck issues. However, he recorded five scoreless innings in September and reclaimed his closer role in October, securing the final outs in NLDS Games 3 and 4.
