Díaz back from IL but loses closer role after injury rehab
The Mets' high-profile reliever is returning from the injured list but will not immediately reclaim his role as the team's primary closer.
Edwin Díaz is set to return from the injured list after a rehab stint but will not be reinstated as the Mets' closer. The team has decided to transition him into a different bullpen role upon his return. Díaz acknowledged he has not yet performed to the standard expected of him. This role change could have meaningful implications for the Mets' bullpen hierarchy and late-game usage.
