| News | ||
| Edwin Diaz is expected to start a throwing program on Tuesday or Wednesday as he recovers from an elbow injury. Diego Sandoval Mon, May 25th | Tigers right-hander Drew Anderson earned a two-inning save in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Orioles. Brenton Kemp Mon, May 25th | |
| The Dodgers transferred Edwin Diaz to the 60-day injured list. Ari Koslow Sun, May 10th | Drew Anderson allowed two hits and two walks while striking out seven over 4 2/3 scoreless innings in Wednesday’s 3-2 loss to the Guardians. Chris Schommer Thu, May 21st | |
| Dodgers closer Edwin Díaz is slated to undergo surgery to remove loose bodies in his right elbow and is expected to miss close to three months. Ari Koslow Mon, Apr 20th | Drew Anderson will start against the Guardians on Wednesday night. Nate Miller - FantasyPros Wed, May 20th | |
| The Dodgers placed Edwin Diaz on the 15-day injured list with right elbow loose bodies. Ari Koslow Mon, Apr 20th | Tigers right-hander Drew Anderson earned a 10-out save, the first of his career, in a 6-1 win over the Marlins Saturday. Brenton Kemp Sat, Apr 11th | |
| Edwin Diaz allowed three runs on four hits while striking out two and was charged with a blown save, but got the win in Friday's win over the Rangers. Chase Davis Sat, Apr 11th | ||
| Notes | ||
| Edwin Díaz reaffirmed his elite closer status in 2025, posting a dominant 1.63 ERA with a .502 OPS allowed and strong underlying indicators, including a sub-0.90 WHIP and elite run-prevention metrics. While his strikeout rate (38.0%) was slightly below his 2022 peak, it remained well above league average and was paired with improved home-run suppression and stable command. The 2026 projections reflect continued ninth-inning dominance with high save volume and strong ratios, supported by his consistent bat-missing profile and ability to limit hard contact. As long as health cooperates and the Dodgers don't get too cute with their bullpen, Díaz remains a top-tier fantasy closer with realistic upside to finish among the league leaders in saves again.
