Why we like him
Díaz is an imminent high-upside closer coming off surgery to remove loose bodies from his right elbow, and the Dodgers have him on the 60-day injured list while he finishes a rehab assignment that began in mid-July. He has 0 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, yet Sorare projects 25.3 points with model confidence MEDIUM, which captures the payoff if he’s activated and handed ninth-inning duties plus the risk tied to limited recent work. When healthy Díaz is a true strikeout closer with four saves before the surgery and a 2025 Reliever of the Year pedigree, so treat him as a boom-or-bust play: plug him in if the Dodgers officially list him active and using him as the closer, otherwise his floor is capped by a limited pitch count or split-usage with the rest of the bullpen.
