Dodgers place Edwin Díaz on 15-day IL amid neck inflammation

The Dodgers placed closer Edwin Díaz on the 15-day injured list with neck inflammation (official diagnosis TBD) and recalled Emmet Sheehan to bolster the bullpen. Díaz, who had elbow surgery earlier this year and returned in late July, has allowed 11 earned runs in 7 2/3 innings since coming off the IL. LA remains in a competitive position but is trying to stabilize the bullpen ahead of October, with Tanner Scott likely closing for now and Sheehan providing long relief.

Dodgers’ Sheehan Emerges in Tigers’ Tarik Skubal Trade Talks

Detroit’s Tarik Skubal could be traded at the deadline, with Emmet Sheehan floated as the Dodgers’ likely pitching centerpiece alongside other prospects (e.g., Zyhir Hope and Aidan West). The Tigers would reportedly demand a controllable starting pitcher plus quality prospects, and any deal would ideally include an extension for Skubal rather than a pure rental. Sheehan is under Dodgers control through 2030, has shown brilliance but has faced 2026-season velocity and ERA concerns, while Skubal’s front-line upside remains the prize for Dodgers fans and Tigers alike.

Dodgers' Michael Busch Seizes Opportunity in Muncy's Absence.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expects Max Muncy to return to the lineup at third base for Tuesday's game against the Rockies in Denver. Lefty Julio Urias is expected to return to the club during next weekend's series in Kansas City. Young right-handers Emmet Sheehan and Bobby Miller both figure to remain in the rotation even after Urias is activated. Right-hander Noah Syndergaard threw three simulated innings prior to today's game against the Astros, but Roberts described Syndergaard's session today as simply "checking a box" for the right-hander.

"Fantasy Baseball Pitching: Luck vs. Strategy"

Misleading numbers can impact fantasy baseball performance. Tyler Glasnow's high ERA is not reflective of his strong K% and top-tier pitching abilities. Emmet Sheehan's hitless debut may not be indicative of his future success due to low SwStr% and control issues. Aaron Nola's ERA should improve with better luck and a schedule that eases up. Bryan Woo's high ERA is not reflective of his strong peripherals and Seattle's pitcher-friendly park. Andrew Abbott's 0.00 ERA is unsustainable due to low K:BB ratio and high exit velocity allowed.
