Edwin Diaz threw off a mound Wednesday morning at Citi Field for what is believed to be the first time since tearing his right patellar tendon in March. It’ s a key step in his rehab process,…
Throwing off a mound is one of the benchmarks that Diaz has to meet, but doing it once is only a start. The 29-year-old right-hander still has a ways to go before he can return to competitive action.
However, the Mets have not yet decided about bringing back Diaz this season, should he be healthy enough to pitch. Manager Buck Showalter was able to watch Diaz throw from the bullpen cameras and talked with him in the clubhouse later on, but has not involved himself too much in the closer’s rehab. Showalter said it’s too soon for him to be concerned about whether or not he will return to action this season.
“He’s getting ready to be an impactful pitcher for us next year,” Showalter said earlier this week. “Whether it’s in the best interest for him to pitch this year, I’ll let the medical people decide what’s best, with Edwin’s input. But we’re not at the point where he’s close enough to debate it yet.”with his Puerto Rico teammates after a World Baseball Classic win. Without him, the Mets lacked an adequate amount of high-leverage relievers and it became a factor in the team’s 2023 downfall.
