Dodgers consider closer options as Edwin Diaz struggles in games

The Los Angeles Dodgers are evaluating alternatives to Edwin Diaz as their closer following his poor performances. Diaz has struggled significantly, blowing three saves recently and contributing to the team’s issues. His last outing included four consecutive singles allowed, costing the Dodgers a lead. With the postseason in sight, the Dodgers may implement a closer-by-committee approach, considering Tanner Scott, Edgardo Henriquez, and Alex Vesia for this role. Scott stands out with a solid season ERA of 2.25 and has stepped up during Diaz's absence. Henriquez, despite recent command issues, possesses strong stuff that could be beneficial, while Vesia has been consistent, maintaining a decent ERA throughout the season.
