Arrr mateys, the scallywag Edwin Diaz of the New York Mets be walkin' the plank to the injured list for 15 days! His right shoulder be sufferin' from a mighty impingement. Aye, it be a rough voyage for this lad!
In the midst of the high seas of baseball, it seems that a cursed spirit has haunted the New York Mets closer, Edwin Diaz. This scallywag has been beset by a shoulder impingement that forced him to walk the plank onto the injured list. The lad has let slip three saves in the last five battles, a sight that would make a pirate blush. His once mighty ERA has been plundered, now standing at 5.40 for the season. The crew of the Mets has not been faring well either, with the worst record in the league.Despite the woes of the whole crew, the blame cannot be laid solely on the shoulders of Diaz. However, a closer who cannot seal the treasure chest in the ninth inning is not what the doubloons are for. The troubles began on May 5 with a lost battle against the Tampa Bay Rays, and it has been a slippery slope since then. The lad showed some promise against the Giants, but it was all for nought as he let the victory slip through his fingers once more.As the Mets pray for their wayward closer to recover, they dream of the days when he was the scourge of the league. Let us hope that Diaz can heal and return to his former glory, for the Mets are in dire need of a helping hand amidst their stormy season.
