Díaz had been sidelined since May 29 with a right shoulder impingement. Before going on the IL, he blew three consecutive save chances and four out of five opportunities. Following the meltdown against the Marlins, he was not used for four games until pitching a scoreless seventh on May 24 against San Francisco. He blew a save the following day.
“He means a lot and when he’s rolling you can feel it,” Mendoza said. “It’s just really good to have him back and we’re all excited about it.”
