The Los Angeles Dodgers have added former All-Star reliever Alexis Diaz from the Cincinnati Reds as they seek to strengthen their pitching roster. Diaz previously excelled in 2023 with 37 saves and a 3.07 ERA but has faced challenges recently, notably a drop in fastball velocity and a 12.00 ERA this season before being demoted to Triple-A. Despite setbacks, manager Dave Roberts is optimistic about Diaz's potential to regain his form, emphasizing the importance of his adjustment to coaching as a key factor for his return to success in the MLB.
"I don't know the timeline. I think that is really contingent on how soon he takes to some of the things that we see and how that goes. But I wouldn't expect it to be too long before he joins us."
"Diaz has proven both genetically and, more importantly, on the diamond, that he has what it takes to succeed at an MLB level. For his own sake and his new team's, he will look to once again thrive in The Show."
