How to insert a character in line in Special condition?

Hi,
I have a log file generated by a tool which has the following look :

/tmp/releases/directory/datefilename1_release_date.zip
/tmp/releases/directory/datefilename2_release_date.zip
/tmp/releases/directory/datefilename3_release_date.zip
/tmp/releases/directory/datefilename4_release_date.zip

Clearly you can identify the path generated for the each file by that tool is broken because there exists no "/" between date directory and the filename . I want to insert a "/" between the "date" and "filename" so that it becomes complete because this path is fed to another tool.
It should look like :

/tmp/releases/directory/date/filename1_release_date.zip
/tmp/releases/directory/date/filename2_release_date.zip
/tmp/releases/directory/date/filename3_release_date.zip
/tmp/releases/directory/date/filename4_release_date.zip

I tried with sed but did not know how to proceed. Please help . Thanks in advance.
