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.
