Dodgers Send Alexis Diaz Back to Triple-A
The Los Angeles Dodgers have optioned relief pitcher Alexis Diaz back to Triple-A Oklahoma City. This transaction opened a spot for Tyler Glasnow, who returned from the injured list. He did not make an appearance in his first stint with the Dodgers. The Dodgers acquired Diaz from the Reds in a trade earlier in the regular season. The hard-throwing right-hander had a difficult start to the campaign, posting a high 12.00 ERA and a 2.17 WHIP through his first six innings. During this stretch, he did not tally a save. However, during the 2023 and 2024 campaigns, Diaz primarily served as Cincinnati's go-to option in the ninth inning. In 2023, Diaz was named to the NL All-Star team and held an overall 3.07 ERA with a 1.19 WHIP and 37 saves. He took a slight step back in 2024, tallying just 28 saves with a 3.99 ERA. The right-hander could eventually find a role in Los Angeles, but for now, he is not worth rostering in any redraft formats.
