Díaz bounced back nicely after leaving Wednesday’s game with a hip cramp. He took over in the ninth with a two-run lead and worked around a walk, striking out the side for his seventh save of the season. The 31-year-old right-hander has struck out multiple batters in each of his last six outings.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza downplayed concern about the issue following Wednesday’s dramatic walk-off victory. Díaz tossed a scoreless ninth inning in a tie ballgame before leaving with a trainer in the ensuing frame. It doesn’t appear to be a serious issue, but it’s a situation fantasy managers should monitor in the coming days. He’ll presumably undergo further evaluation and testing to determine the severity of the issue. It would likely be some combination of Ryne Stanek, A.J. Minter, Reed Garrett or Max Kranick handling the closing duties if he needs some time off.

Díaz left the contest with a trainer after a balk in the ninth inning of Wednesday’s contest. He was on his second inning of work for the first time this season. There should be an update on his status shortly.
