Dodgers' Díaz Undergoes Key Procedure, Elder Recalled

0:00On April 21, Dodgers reliever Dias is heading in for a key procedure this Wednesday at the Curlin Job Orthopedic Clinic in Los Angeles. The 32-year-old right-hander won't be back until the second half of the season. They placed him on the 15-day injured list right away. His season started rough with a 1-0 record in a 10.50 ERA over seven appearances. He notched 10 strikeouts and four saves, but blew it big in his last two outings, giving up three earn runs each time, including a scoreless. Disaster Sunday against Colorado. This hits hard for the two-time defending World Series champs who signed the three-time all-star to a $3-year $69 million deal last December. He opted out of the final two years and $38 million with the Mets to join L.A. To fill the gap, they recalled lefty-jick elder from Triple A Oklahoma City. Elder, picked up from the Nationals on April 1st for cash, has given up just two runs in five and one-third innings this year down there.
