Morning Briefing: Edwin Díaz Leaving Camp for Birth of Child
Good morning, Mets fans!
Edwin Díaz is going to be leaving Port St. Lucie for a couple of days as he is going back to New York for the birth of his third child. Díaz made his long-awaited return this week as he struck out the side in the top of fifth on Monday, after walking in to his infamous trumpet entrance song. Along with that came a video of Díaz’s wife Nashaly and their two children celebrating his return to the mound.
Edwin Díaz's kids were thrilled watching him strike out the side tonight ????

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza mentioned that this will not effect his throwing routine as he will throw a live BP in the morning prior to catching his flight to New York.
Congratulations to the Díaz family on welcoming another child into the world!
