Reds deal former All-Star RHP Alexis Diaz to Dodgers

By MLB Premium News May 29, 2025 | 10:33 PM

The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired right-handed relief pitcher Alexis Diaz from the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday in exchange for minor league right-hander Mike Villani.
The Dodgers transferred right-hander Evan Phillips to the 60-day injured list to open a spot for Diaz on the 40-man roster.
Diaz, 28, was an All-Star selection in 2023 but lost his closer role in Cincinnati to Emilio Pagan earlier this season. He has appeared in just six games in 2025 and allowed eight runs over six innings for a 12.00 ERA.
Diaz was optioned to Triple-A on May 1 and had a 4.63 ERA, a 1-2 record and two saves in 14 appearances for Louisville.
Before his rough patch, Diaz amassed 75 saves and an 18-14 record over his first three major league seasons, all with Cincinnati. He owns a career 3.21 ERA.
Villani, 22, was a 13th-round draft pick by the Dodgers in 2024 and has yet to make his MLB debut. He started this season at the Rookie Ball level.
