Dave Roberts leaves door open for Edwin Díaz to reclaim closer role

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated that Edwin Díaz could resume closing duties as the season nears its end. Following a strong performance during the team’s 7-0 win over the Padres, Roberts acknowledged Díaz's impressive recent outings, which included three scoreless appearances since returning from an injury. This development comes after concerns about Díaz's place on the playoff roster due to a challenging season marked by injuries and a high ERA. Other options for closing include Tanner Scott, who has been effective this season, and a potential closer-by-committee strategy.
