I'll take Odd Injuries to Wealthy Metropolitans for $600 please. Answer is, This Met injured his patellar tendon doing the bunny hop. Who is Edwin Diaz? Dingdingdingding... Edwin Díaz will undergo surgery Thursday to repair a right patellar tendon tear, announced Mets general manager Billy Eppler. Brutal. The all-world closer actually suffered a "full thickness" tear of his patellar tendon during a rather innocuous celebration with Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic on Wednesday. It's just bad luck all around. Eppler added that a more specific timeline will be known after the surgery, but the general timetable is around eight months before a return to action, which obviously rules Díaz out for the 2023 season. It's a terrible blow for a Mets team which has World Series aspirations, but now they will have to move ahead with the team that they have, though it's likely they'll look for in-season improvements. For now, David Robertson moves to the forefront for save chances. SOURCE: Mike Puma Mar 16, 2023, 1:37 PM ET
