Edwin Díaz, Evan Phillips, and Brock Stewart are sidelined with pitching injuries. Phillips is recovering from Tommy John surgery performed last year. Stewart’s season was interrupted by a bone spur in his left foot, and Díaz is recovering after loose bodies were removed from his right elbow. Phillips and Stewart both faced hitters at Dodger Stadium, and both sessions went well. Phillips is nearing the start of a rehab assignment after additional live outings. Stewart’s foot has not responded fully, delaying his return. The Dodgers placed Stewart on the 15-day injured list with an expectation that his absence would likely extend beyond two weeks, with rest as the primary treatment and surgery considered only if the problem persists.
"Phillips is working his way back from last year's Tommy John surgery, while Stewart had his season interrupted by a bone spur in his left foot and Díaz is recovering after having loose bodies removed from his right elbow."
""Both came out of it well. They both came out of it fine," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of Phillips and Stewart. "I think Evan will do another live or two, and then potentially go out on assignment. I think Brock was good. The foot is just not totally responding and kind of back, so that's kind of the thing that's holding us back a little bit.""
""I think probably three weeks is fair," Roberts said when first asked for a timeline regarding Stewart's return. "I don't think it will be just the two weeks and then he's back. In a couple weeks we'll know more, but I don't think it will be after the two-week mark.""
"The main course of treatment for Stewart's foot injury has been rest. The 34-year-old at this point is not expected to undergo surgery, but that could change if the issue continues to persist."
