Edwin Diaz to remain Mets' closer
New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway said after Monday's game that reliever Edwin Diaz is the club's closer "and is going to be our closer."
What It Means:
Callaway was a bit more ambiguous when asked about the closer role on Sunday, but it appears confidence has not waned. This came after Diaz allowed a walk and plunked a batter, but he fanned 2 and didn't allow a run for the first time in four outings.
Diaz owns a 5.32 ERA and 1.45 WHIP with 71 strikeouts and 16 walks in 44 innings (48 games) this season. He's converted 24-of-29 saves.
