The news was announced before the end of the series against the Rockies.\n\nThe 32-year-old pitcher was placed on the injured list. He is expected to be able to return to the field during the second half of the season.\n\nTo cover his absence, the organization promoted left-hander Jake Eder from Triple-A.\n\nD\u00edaz is coming off a difficult performance on Sunday, where he allowed three runs without being able to get a single out. So far this season, his record is 1-0 with an ERA of 10.50 in seven appearances.\n\nThroughout his career in the Major Leagues, the right-hander has accumulated a record of 29-36 with an ERA of 2.91 in 527 games. In addition, he has 257 saves in 300 opportunities and 849 strikeouts. D\u00edaz has been selected for the All-Star Game three times.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>We know his level and when we don&#8217;t see it, it generates concern. We will have to talk to him.<\/p>\n\n<cite>Dave Roberts, Dodgers manager<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nOne of the warning signs was the decrease in the speed of his fastball. While in previous seasons he averaged between 97.2 and 99.1 miles per hour, this year it has dropped to 95.7 mph, and even reached 92.8 mph in his last presentation.\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Eder, 27 years old, was acquired from the Nationals at the beginning of April. In Triple-A, he has pitched 5.1 innings, allowing two runs. Eder already has previous experience in the Major Leagues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edwin D\u00edaz to Undergo Surgery on Right Elbow The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced that Puerto Rican closer Edwin D\u00edaz will undergo surgery this Wednesday to address loose tissue in his right elbow.
