Edwin Díaz
#3 Active2026 Fantasy Baseball Player Profile
Edwin Díaz enjoyed a dominant resurgence in 2025 with the New York Mets, firmly re-establishing himself as one of the game's elite closers. After a somewhat uneven 2024, Díaz returned to peak form, posting a minuscule 1.63 ERA and a 2.28 FIP over 66.1 innings. He converted 28 saves and racked up 98 strikeouts (38.0% K-rate), stifling hitters with his trademark electric fastball-slider combination. His command was also sharp, limiting walks to an 8.1% rate. This stellar performance earned him a lucrative 3-year, $69 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers in December 2025, where he is now projected to serve as the closer for the defending World Series champions.
Entering 2026, Díaz is a top-tier fantasy closer, arguably the #1 overall relief option. Moving to the Dodgers provides him with immense save equity given the team's projected win total. Projections forecast a continuation of his dominance, with an ERA around 2.98 and roughly 36 saves. While relief pitchers always carry volatility, Díaz's elite strikeout rate (projected ~35%) provides a massive floor even if save opportunities fluctuate slightly. He is a "set and forget" fantasy asset who anchors a bullpen and offers significant value in ERA, WHIP, and strikeouts.

AVG, OBP, SLG, ERA and WHIP are season-to-date through each game, not that game alone — so the column reads as a trend and its last value is the season figure. They stay season-to-date when the log is filtered by opponent; the figure for the filtered games is the one in the Total row. The second game of a doubleheader is marked (2).
