Díaz Eyes Return, Ohtani Near Comeback | MLB News

Edwin Díaz is inching closer to returning from neck inflammation, aiming to rejoin the Dodgers next month after a rough season marked by high ERA and blown saves since his elbow surgery — now focusing on refining his mechanics to reclaim his form. Manager Dave Roberts says he won’t rush back into the closer role, acknowledging Tanner Scott’s strong performances; Díaz is ready to earn his spot. Meanwhile, Shohei Ohtani could be back on the mound as early as next week after a bullpen session this week, following his knee injury layoff. On the injury front, Andy Pages’ hand surgery won’t delay his return, while Will Smith begins rehab in Triple-A Oklahoma City after missing time with a neck issue.
