Despite having slowly worked his way back to throwing bullpen sessions, New York Mets star closer Edwin Díaz will not return to pitch this season as he continues to recover from a torn patellar tendon, according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo.
Given that the Mets have greatly underachieved this season and are nowhere near title contention, the organization doesn't want to risk any setbacks for the two-time All-Star. Instead, Díaz will continue to throw bullpen sessions through the end of the September.
The expectation is that he'll be ready for a normal offseason and will be good to go for the 2024 campaign.
