Edwin Díaz Activated by Dodgers Following Monthlong Stint on Injured List

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated relief pitcher Edwin Díaz from the injured list on Friday following a monthlong absence due to neck inflammation. Díaz has struggled during an injury-plagued 2026 campaign, posting an 11.85 ERA with 19 strikeouts and 10 walks over 13.2 innings after April elbow surgery. Manager Dave Roberts stated that Díaz must consistently throw quality strikes over the final week to earn a spot on the postseason roster.
