The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a 4-0 victory over the New York Mets in their series opener, setting the stage for a crucial second game. Concerns arose regarding closer Edwin Díaz after he reported feeling unwell following a blown save against the Texas Rangers. However, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts alleviated those worries by stating that Díaz feels great and is available to pitch. Díaz, who suffered a patella tendon rupture during the 2023 World Baseball Classic, has experienced reduced velocity but believes it is improving. He has a 6.00 ERA with four saves in six games this season, and his health management is crucial as the season progresses. Roberts anticipates that if the right situation arises, Díaz will pitch in the ongoing series against the Mets.
