The Los Angeles Dodgers are shoring up their reliever depth and acquiring former All-Star Alexis Díaz from the Cincinnati Reds, a league source told The Athletic.
Díaz is not expected to report to the Dodgers immediately and is instead expected to report to Triple-A Oklahoma City, the source said. But his acquisition comes in the wake of the Dodgers having each of their top five expected right-handed relief options — Blake Treinen, Evan Phillips, Kirby Yates, Michael Kopech and Brusdar Graterol — all on the injured list. The Dodgers have asked their bullpen to cover 239 2/3 innings, the most in the major leagues.

The Dodgers are reportedly sending Mike Villani, their 13th-round selection last year, to the Reds in return.
Díaz, the brother of New York Mets All-Star closer Edwin Díaz, allowed eight runs in six innings (six appearances) this season before the Reds sent him down to Triple-A Louisville. He had a 2.93 ERA over 190 appearances over the three preceding seasons, including an All-Star-worthy 2023 where he had a 3.07 ERA and 37 saves in 71 appearances. The 28-year-old also missed the start of the season due to a hamstring strain.

Lily Yohannes marks one year with USWNT: Emma Hayes praises teen’s ‘unbelievable maturity and coachability’
Getty Images The youngest player on the U.S. women's national team, 17-year-old midfielder Lily Yohannes, returned with the squad to the place where she made her national debut and scored her first USWNT goal nearly one year ago. Yohannes earned the start against China for a friendly at Allianz Field in Minnesota, and the Stars and Stripes defeated the Steel Roses 3-0, with goals from Catarina Macario, Sam Coffey, and Lindsey Heaps. She was often a dual outlet for the team in progressing the ball and was crucial in retaining possession. She was second on the team in total recoveries (seven) during the victory. Both Coffey and Yohannes quickly shifted tempo for the team in the midfield, snuffing out any over-eager pressing moments by China. It's just another step forward for the young defensive midfielder.Head coach Emma Hayes is rang in one year […]
