Mets All-Star Edwin Diaz set to return after missing last season due to injury
New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz is optimistic to make a return to the pitch this season after missing out the whole of 2023. The Puerto Rican pitcher sustained a right knee injury during the World Baseball Classics in March 2023.
As a result, he had to undergo surgery for repairing the full-thickness tear of his patellar tendon.
Earlier this month, reports suggested that the 2x All-Star pitcher had requested the team to get him a few major league games. Recently while talking about his availability in the upcoming season, Diaz said:
"I just feel like I need competition. I’m ready," Diaz said (via Sports Illustrated). "I’m throwing my pitches like I want to. I feel 100 percent ready, so I need games, I told them.”
"Just throw strikes," Diaz told MLB Network. "I know I'm healthy. I just want to go out and compete. I was throwing live BP and I told the team, 'I'm ready to pitch in a real game.' So they sent me to minor league (spring training), pitched a couple games, feel really good and I'm ready to pitch in a big league game."
