Will Mets' Edwin Diaz pitch this season? Star closer gives injury update New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz suffered a full-thickness tear of the patellar tendon in his right knee during the World Baseball Classic.
Edwin Díaz - Aiming for return in 2023 Diaz (knee) told Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic that he believes he can join the Mets before the end of the season. "If everything keeps going how it's going, we've got a chance to...
Impact Mets general manager Billy Eppler initially announced in mid-March that Diaz would miss eight months -- thus the entire 2023 season -- after the closer suffered a torn patellar tendon in his right knee while celebrating Team Puerto Rico's win over Team Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic. Then came word in April that it could be closer to a six-month overall recovery process, which would point him toward a return sometime in mid-to-late September. Diaz has been doing some light jogging and other cardio workouts, though there's currently no timetable for when he might resume throwing.

Kodai Senga - Might start Sunday Mets manager Buck Showalter said Senga might pitch on four days of rest Sunday versus the Blue Jays, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Four days of rest is the normal schedule for most major-league starters, but Senga so far has been getting five days off between outings like he did in Japan. Showalter said the team will do some testing with the 30-year-old right-hander later this week to gauge his readiness. Sunday's game is at Citi Field, where Senga has flourished to a 1.20 ERA in five starts covering 30 innings. He carries a 6.12 ERA through five starts (25 innings) on the road. If he's held out until the following series, his next turn would be Tuesday at Atlanta.

Jett Williams - Getting on base at Single-A Williams is hitting .207 with a .401 OBP, one home run and 13 steals in 34 games for Single-A St. Lucie.
Impact The 19-year-old shortstop has a strong batted-ball profile, with a 32 percent groundball rate and all-fields approach, but it hasn't translated into a high batting average in the early going. Even as an undersized 5-foot-6 middle infielder, Williams is strong where it counts and is expected to eventually develop notable over-the-fence power to go with his 70-grade speed.

Mark Canha - Carries offense in win Canha went 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in a 4-1 victory over Philadelphia on Wednesday.
Impact Canha knocked in all four runs for New York, smashing a two-run homer in the third inning and stroking a two-run single in the fourth. The multi-hit performance was the first for the veteran since May 14, a span of 11 games. Canha had been struggling over that stretch, batting just .222 without an extra-base hit or RBI across 27 at-bats.

David Robertson - Grabs 10th save Robertson earned a save against the Phillies on Wednesday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters over one inning.
Impact Robertson experienced some stress in the outing as a result of allowing two straight hitters to reach base (via an infield single and a hit-by-pitch, respectively) with one out. However, the right-hander bounced back with a pair of strikeouts to end the threat and notch a save for the second straight day. Robertson is still in somewhat of a timeshare at closer with Adam Ottavino, but the former has been the more dominant pitcher throughout the campaign, posting a 1.48 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 29:7 K:BB over 24.1 frames.

Carlos Carrasco - Picks up second straight win Carrasco improved to 2-2 with a win over Philadelphia on Wednesday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out four batters over six innings.
Impact Carrasco was efficient in tossing 52 of 82 pitches for a strike over six frames, and the only run he allowed came on an Edmundo Sosa solo shot. The veteran righty picked up his second straight quality start, with each outing resulting in a victory. Carrasco struggled to begin the campaign, allowing 11 earned runs across 8.2 innings over his first two starts. He's been much better since then, yielding two or fewer runs in three of his subsequent four outings and completing at least five frames in each appearance during that span.

José Quintana - Advancing to live BP Quintana (ribs) is scheduled to throw live batting practice next Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact It will be his first time facing live hitters since he underwent bone-graft surgery on his rib cage in March. If all goes well in that live BP workout, Quintana could advance to a minor-league rehab assignment soon after. The veteran left-hander signed a two-year, $26 million contract with the Mets over the offseason and appears on track to make his official debut for the club sometime before the end of June.
