The Mets faced a significant scare when closer Edwin Diaz left the mound in the 10th inning during a game against the Phillies. After a solid performance earlier, where Diaz pitched a perfect ninth inning, he suddenly waved to the dugout during his second inning of work. Although yang was unclear, it highlighted the Mets' already vulnerable bullpen situation, having previously used key relief pitchers. As Diaz has saved six games this season, his potential injury could substantially impact the team's performance in upcoming games.
Diaz had pitched a perfect, 11-pitch ninth inning and returned for his second inning of work for the first time this season.
The Mets' bullpen was depleted, having already used Huascar Brazobán, Danny Young and Jose Butto and needing to use Max Kranick.
