Overview
- Díaz has produced three consecutive scoreless outings since his rehab return, totaling three innings, six strikeouts, one hit and one walk.
- During a Triple‑A stint Oklahoma City coaches identified a change in his hip movement and Díaz adjusted his delivery, which the club links to better fastball command and a sharper slider.
- His season was interrupted by elbow surgery to remove loose bodies and a later shutdown for neck inflammation, and those setbacks helped fuel early results that left his ERA near career worst levels.
- The closer role is currently held by Tanner Scott, who has converted 23 of 27 saves with a 2.77 ERA, and the Dodgers will keep evaluating late‑inning roles and a postseason roster spot for Díaz in the final week.
- For Díaz the recent run is a last chance to secure meaningful October work and it could alter the Dodgers’ bullpen plan depending on how the team uses him in the next two appearances.
