Dodgers report progress on Edwin Díaz's recovery from elbow surgery

The Los Angeles Dodgers received a positive update on closer Edwin Díaz's recovery from elbow surgery. Díaz, who has been sidelined since mid-April following arthroscopic surgery, is reportedly making good progress. He is scheduled to throw a bullpen session this week as he works toward returning to the mound. The Dodgers signed him to a three-year, $69 million contract in the offseason, and they are hopeful for his return sometime after the All-Star break. His availability would strengthen a bullpen that has continued to perform, but with championship aspirations, his presence could be crucial moving forward.
