"Edwin Díaz will undergo surgery on Wednesday at Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic and is expected to miss around three months due to loose bodies in his right elbow."
"Brandon Gomes had an (expected) one-word answer to the suggestion that Roki Sasaki could shift back to the bullpen with Edwin Díaz's injury: 'No.'"
"The Dodgers remain fully committed to Roki Sasaki's development as a starting pitcher and don't want to throw him off course with a temporary move back to the bullpen."
"Sasaki turned in another inconsistent start in the Dodgers' 9-6 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Sunday as he allowed three runs on seven hits over 4.2 innings pitched."
Edwin Díaz is set for surgery to address loose bodies in his right elbow, leading to a three-month absence. The Dodgers will depend on Tanner Scott, Blake Treinen, and Alex Vesia for save opportunities. Roki Sasaki, previously a successful reliever, will remain in the starting rotation despite suggestions to move him back to the bullpen. The team is confident in their current relief pitchers handling the ninth inning until Díaz's return. Sasaki is working on improving his performance after an inconsistent start against the Rockies.
