Edwin Díaz spoke with reporters on Monday, for the first time since his arthroscopic surgery last Wednesday, including optimism that there was no ligament damage in his right elbow. From Fabian Ardaya at The Athletic:
Díaz said he has had loose bodies that have shown up in MRIs dating back as far as 2012, when the Seattle Mariners selected him in the third round of the MLB Draft. His elbow remained asymptomatic until that April 19 outing at Coors Field. When he reported symptoms to Dodgers team medical officials, they sent him for imaging in Los Angeles. Three days later, he was undergoing surgery by Dr. Neal ElAttrache to remove the loose bodies.
Maddie Lee at the Los Angeles Times talked to many of Kyle Tucker’s former Chicago Cubs teammates about his signing with the Dodgers. Many were surprised by the record-setting average annual value on the short term deal, but were complimentary of Tucker’s fit in Los Angeles:
“It’s crazy, there’s probably not many guys who you could add to that [Dodgers] lineup and look at and be like, ‘Oh, it’s better,’” Cubs first baseman Michael Busch, a former Dodgers prospect said during spring training. “But I think Tucker’s a guy who you add to any lineup in this league and he’s going to make it better no matter what.”
Hyeseong Kim started the regular season in Triple-A, so he wasn’t around for the ring ceremony on March 27. But he got presented his World Series ring in front of his teammates in the Dodgers clubhouse on Monday.
