Edwin Díaz Returns to Dodgers Reliever Corps in Low-Leverage Role

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Edwin Díaz will be activated Friday to pitch in low-leverage situations following an injury-plagued campaign. Díaz has posted an 11.85 ERA with seven saves in 11 opportunities over 16 games while dealing with elbow and neck issues. After walking seven batters across five rehab outings at Triple-A, manager Dave Roberts emphasized that Díaz must perform to earn a spot on the postseason roster.
