Dodgers Monitoring Edwin Diaz's Velocity
The Los Angeles Dodgers are monitoring closer Edwin Diaz's velocity, manager Dave Roberts told Jack Harris of The California Post. While Roberts said that Diaz was unavailable on Saturday because he had pitched on Friday, the manager also noted that the team would be keeping a close eye on the reliever's velocity going forward. His fastball averaged 96.3 mph over his first five outings this season, and that number dropped to 94.7 mph on Friday. Both of those numbers are concerning, given that his previous career-low average fastball velocity was 97.4 mph (2025). Diaz has now allowed four earned runs over six innings of work this year, but it's been a small sample size and he still has four saves, which is tied for fourth-most in MLB. Diaz ranks #2 among relievers in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings.
