The Los Angeles Dodgers are making changes to their bullpen, recalling right-handed reliever Alexis Diaz while optioning Julian Fernandez back to the minors. Diaz, who struggled with the Cincinnati Reds and posted a 9.64 ERA in his brief appearance at Triple-A Oklahoma City, is getting another chance in the majors. Reports suggest Diaz's stuff has improved, but his command remains shaky with more walks than strikeouts. Additionally, Landon Knack is on the taxi squad in case more pitching depth is required for Tyler Glasnow's upcoming start.
The Dodgers are recalling Alexis Diaz while sending Julian Fernandez back down, continuing to adjust their bullpen. Diaz has struggled but is being given another chance.
Acquired in late May, Alexis Diaz, formerly an All-Star, has faced challenges including a 9.64 ERA in Triple-A, but the Dodgers are hopeful for improvement.
Reports indicate that while Diaz's pitches have good velocity, his command has been inconsistent with more walks than strikeouts, leading to his struggles.
Landon Knack is on the taxi squad and may be called up depending on the bullpen's needs as Tyler Glasnow makes his return to the big leagues.
