Edwin Diaz Doing Well In His Recovery
1 year agoCincinnati Reds closer Alexis Diaz said his brother, New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz (knee), is doing well in his rehab from knee surgery. "He's doing really well. He's been going out and throwing 125 to 150 feet every day. He's been recovering pretty fast. He's a true athlete and really can recover quickly, so I hope to see him out there really soon." Edwin Diaz said early in June that he remained hopeful that he could return to the Mets bullpen at some point later this year, but that probably is a long shot to actually transpire after the 29-year-old suffered a torn patellar tendon in his right knee while celebrating in the World Baseball Classic this spring. Even if Diaz were able to return at the tail end of the season, he wouldn't have much time to provide any real fantasy value.
