Yennsy Díaz

Diaz cleared waivers Tuesday and was outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Diaz owns a 5.96 ERA and 21:16 K:BB in 25.2 career major-league innings, so it's no surprise to see him go unclaimed on waivers. He'll remain as organizational depth for now.

Diaz was designated for assignment Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Diaz made 20 appearances out of the bullpen for the Mets last season, though he was late to spring training due to visa issues. As a result, he failed to make the Opening Day roster. Adonis Medina was added to the 40-man roster in the corresponding move.

Diaz was sent to minor-league camp by the Mets on Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Diaz was a late arrival to spring training due to visa issues and was unable to earn a spot on New York's Opening Day roster. He made 20 appearances out of the bullpen for the Mets last season and had a 5.40 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 21:12 K:BB across 25 innings.

Diaz has yet to arrive at camp due to visa issues, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Diaz is one of several players around the league facing similar problems. As long as he arrives soon, he'll have plenty of time to build up for Opening Day, though he's not a favorite to spend that day on the active roster.

Now that the 2021 season is over for the New York Mets, we have been looking back at the year that was. After taking a more general view of the offense, pitching, and coaching staff, it’s time to take a deeper dive into the Mets’ players. This series will take a look at every player on the roster for the Mets at the end of the season from A (Albert Almora Jr) to Y (Jordan Yamamoto). The review will look at their season statistics, stories, and what role (if any) they will have next season. We continue the series today with a look at relief pitcher Yennsy Diaz.

The Mets acquired Yennsy Díaz via the Steven Matz trade along with Sean Reid-Foley and Josh Winckowski in January. A rash of pitching injuries in the middle of the season brought both Reid-Foley and Díaz up to the majors, the former providing some spark and a few memeable moments, with the latter doing very little worth noting.

Diaz was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Diaz made three relief appearances after he was called up in early September, but he'll head back to the minors after he gave up four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out one in 1.1 innings against the Cardinals on Monday. He's made 12 outings in Albuquerque and has posted an 8.16 ERA and 1.63 WHIP in 14.1 innings.

According to the team’s transactions log, the New York Mets activated right-hander Heath Hembree over the off-day on Monday. Even though the team was not playing, they had to activate him, as it was three days since he was claimed off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds. Hembree served as the...

Diaz was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Diaz's latest stint in the majors lasted just four days. He didn't get into a single game during that time. The move clears a space for the Mets to add recent waiver claim Heath Hembree.

Diaz was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. The right-hander was sent down Wednesday, but he'll return to the major-league roster after Jake Reed (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday. Diaz has made six relief appearances in the majors since Aug. 1, and he's recorded a 5.40 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 6.2 innings during that span.

Prior to today’s series finale against the Giants, the Mets have recalled catcher Chance Sisco from Triple-A. The newest Met will sport number 77. To make room on the roster, New York has optioned reliever Yennsy Díaz to Syracuse. Prior to last night’s game, the Mets found out they would...

Diaz (0-2) allowed one unearned run on one hit while striking out two over an inning of work, taking the loss in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to the Dodgers. Diaz was brought on to start the top of the 10th inning, and after striking out Chris Taylor, he gave up a double to Cody Bellinger that scored ghost runner Corey Seager. Although Diaz was able to limit the damage to one, that was enough to saddle him with the loss, as the Mets failed to score in the bottom half.

Diaz was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday. The right-hander was sent to Triple-A on June 23 and will rejoin the Mets on Sunday with Sean Reid-Foley (elbow) landing on the injured list. Diaz has given up three earned runs on five hits with eight strikeouts and four walks across 6.1 innings this season.

The Mets had been able to avoid injuries to the bullpen for the most part as the rest of the roster was decimated during the month of May. That came to a screeching halt Monday as Jeurys Familia was placed on the injured list following Game 1 of Monday’s doubleheader.

The Mets optioned Diaz to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. After starting his 2021 campaign with three consecutive scoreless outings, Diaz allowed three runs Tuesday in relief of Marcus Stroman (hip). Now, the righty and his 4.26 ERA head to Triple-A as one of a bevy of Mets' transactions Wednesday.

Following their 4-2 win against the Atlanta Braves in Game 1 of their doubleheader, the Mets announced that Jeurys Familia would be going on the injured list with a right hip impingement. To take his place on the roster, the team is calling up Yennsy Diaz. Familia became the second...

Diaz was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse after Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader versus Atlanta, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports. The 24-year-old was optioned to Triple-A on Sunday but will quickly rejoin the Mets with Jeurys Familia (hip) landing on the injured list. Diaz has made three appearances in the majors this season and has given up two hits and two walks with five strikeouts over 4.1 scoreless innings.

Diaz was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to serve as the 27th man in Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
