""With Edwin, he just didn't have any command, and the velocity was down, and, obviously, not a save situation," manager Dave Roberts said. "There might have been some adrenaline, or lack thereof, that played into it.""
""I think for us, it's just going on what the training staff and the player tells me. You've got to trust him and believe they feel good, and a veteran player like him, no one should know his body better than he does.""
""Today was a tough evaluation. I mean, it really was. Because I know what it's supposed to look like, and when it doesn't look like that, it gets a little concerning.""
Edwin Díaz made his first appearance since April 10, but struggled significantly, allowing three runs on three singles and a walk without recording an out. His fastball velocity was down from last season. Manager Dave Roberts noted Díaz lacked command and suggested rust from not pitching for eight days may have affected his performance. Despite concerns about his health, Roberts trusts Díaz's self-assessment. Following the outing, Díaz's ERA stands at 10.50, raising questions about his effectiveness moving forward.
