"Díaz last pitched in the 2023 WBC, appearing in two games without allowing a run, while adding four strikeouts to no walks and one save. However, he suffered a complete patellar tear in his right knee during a celebration after defeating the Dominican Republic. Díaz ended up missing the entire 2023 season for the New York Mets. Things were much better for Díaz when he participated in 2017, as he tossed 5.1 innings over four games."
"Díaz is entering his first season with the Dodgers after signing a record-setting three-year, $69 million contract. His $23 million average annual value (AAV) is the highest ever for a relief pitcher. Díaz collected 28 saves to go along with a 1.63 ERA and 98 strikeouts in 66.1 innings for the Mets this past season. He had the second-lowest ERA among relievers with at least 50 innings, trailing only Aroldis Chapman's 1.17 mark."
Edwin Díaz will join Team Puerto Rico for a third World Baseball Classic appearance in 2026 and becomes the fifth Dodgers player placed on a WBC roster this year. Díaz produced scoreless work in two games during the 2023 WBC but tore his patellar tendon celebrating a victory, causing him to miss the entire 2023 MLB season. He performed strongly in 2017 with a 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and two saves. Díaz signed a three-year, $69 million deal with the Dodgers, posted a 1.63 ERA and 28 saves last season, and has 253 career saves with a 2.82 ERA.
