Overview
- Díaz, who had five loose bodies removed last Wednesday, said Monday his range of motion already feels normal and he will pause throwing for a few weeks.
- Imaging revealed five bone or cartilage fragments in his right elbow after an April 19 struggle in Colorado prompted testing.
- The team and Díaz are aiming for a return after the All-Star break, with July or August the working window once a throwing program begins.
- Los Angeles plans to cover late innings with internal options, turning to Treinen from the right side and Scott and Vesia from the left.
- The three-time All-Star opened his first Dodgers season with a 10.50 ERA over seven outings, a slide he links to restricted elbow motion before the cleanup.
