Dodgers place closer Edwin Díaz on injured list with upper-body injury

The Los Angeles Dodgers have reportedly placed closer Edwin Díaz on the injured list due to an upper-body injury. Díaz, who has struggled this season with an 11.85 ERA and four blown saves, is not believed to have elbow issues, but the team is concerned following his disappointing performance. The 32-year-old closer has faced challenges since missing three months earlier in the season due to an elbow procedure. In 16 appearances this year, he holds a 2-2 record with just three saves out of eleven opportunities. Díaz signed a three-year, $69 million contract with the Dodgers this offseason, raising concerns regarding his future performance after a tough comeback from previous injuries.
