Edwin Diaz is nearing his return from elbow surgery, potentially facing the Mets in a dramatic matchup after leaving for the Dodgers.
Edwin Diaz is on the verge of returning from elbow surgery, having already dominated in four rehab games and now just needing to pitch back-to-back to clear the final hurdle. If he nails it, he could face his old team, the Mets, in a dramatic showdown — especially since he left them for a big payday with the Dodgers. While Mets fans are likely to be frosty, manager Dave Roberts is weighing whether the trip is worth it for just one series. Diaz’s fastball is back up to 98 mph, signaling he’s regaining his elite stuff, and once he’s back, he’ll reclaim the closer’s role while Tanner Scott steps into a setup spot — and he’s been lights out in that role all season.
