Dodgers closer Edwin Diaz (elbow) to begin a rehab assignment

Dodgers closer Edwin Diaz, who's been sidelined with an elbow injury for over two months, is set to begin his road to recovery with a rehab assignment at Single-A Ontario. This move marks a significant step in his return to form as the team's primary closer. The Dodgers are hopeful this stint will get him back on track for a full return soon, which is crucial given his pivotal role in the bullpen. This rehab assignment not only impacts his immediate future but also has broader implications for the team's performance down the stretch of the season.
