A nightmare scenario is currently playing out for the Mets and Edwin Diaz. After closing out Puerto Rico’s win over the Dominican Republic in Miami on Wednesday night, Diaz had to be helped off the field with what looks like a serious knee injury.
He’ll be getting more tests done on Thursday, so we won’t know how serious this is until later in the day, or possibly Friday. However, it’s hard to not think Diaz will be on the shelf for a considerable period of time.
The Mets were still surveying the free-agent reliever market.
