The Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday placed reliever Edwin Diaz on the 15-day injured list with right elbow loose bodies.
Diaz, 32, the right-handed closer who is in his first season with the club, has four saves and 10 strikeouts this season, but is also carrying a 10.50 ERA. On Sunday, in a loss to the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, the veteran allowed three runs without recording an out.
In a corresponding move, Los Angeles recalled left-hander Jake Eder, 27, from Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Designated for assignment earlier this month by the Washington Nationals, Eder went 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA in 18 1/3 innings of relief for the Los Angeles Angels last season.
The Dodgers close a four-game series with the Rockies on Monday night.
