Edwin Diaz continues to play catch during his recovery from the torn right patellar tendon he suffered during the World Baseball Classic.
Mets manager Buck Showalter declined to discuss specifics about Diaz’s rehab, but he did say on Saturday that the club’s injured closer “is doing a lot of things he wasn’t doing” earlier in his recovery.
Showalter said, prior to the Mets’ game Saturday night against the Dodgers at Citi Field, that the team’s place in the standings would not impact Diaz’s schedule. The bullpen got another arm when David Peterson was moved there due to the addition of Jose Quintana to the rotation.Peterson pitched well in his second stint in the Mets’ rotation and allowed a run in his first appearance out of the bullpen Friday in a loss to the Dodgers. The lefty’s time in the pen might not last long.
“He had a really good spring for us and probably would have made the club,’’ Showalter said of the 30-year-old who appeared in the majors with the Giants and Phillies over the previous four seasons.
