The biggest news yesterday came after Puerto Rico beat the Dominican Republic in the WBC. Edwin Diaz hurt his right knee in the celebration after the game. The Mets released a statement on twitter saying that he will undergo imaging today.
NY Post: Mets’ Edwin Diaz carried off field after Puerto Rico WBC celebration injury. "Diaz had just recorded the final out of the game and was crowded by teammates who began hugging him near the pitcher’s mound. Diaz emerged from the celebration unable to put weight on his right knee and was helped to a wheelchair."
MLB Trade Rumors: Edwin Diaz Helped Off Field With Right Knee Injury. "Díaz was helped off the field by trainers without putting weight on his right leg. He was helped into a wheelchair and taken off the field in a surreal scene, one which turned from jubilation for the Puerto Rican players and fanbase into dismay. Players from both teams were visibly distraught by the injury, with Díaz’s younger brother Alexis Díaz breaking down in tears as Edwin was taken off the field."

John Harper SNY.TV: How gambling on Stephen Ridings embodies Mets GM Billy Eppler's bullpen philosophy. “'You want to take some shots,' was the way Eppler put it Wednesday...'You start out needing a minimum of four, maybe five high-leverage relievers. After that you look for high-upside guys with certain level of tools...If you take maybe 10 of those shots and you hit on one or two of them, it’s worth it.'"
