Yennsy Díaz

The Mets have activated Taijuan Walker from the injured list, optioning Yennsy Diaz to Triple-A to free up the roster spot, per Tim Healey of Newsday. Walker missed the minimum amount of time with tightness in his side. Walked has excelled in eight starts this season with a 2.05 ERA/2.84 FIP across 44 innings.

Diaz was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday. Diaz spent a week on the big-league roster and threw a pair of scoreless innings. He'll make way for Taijuan Walker, who returns from a side injury in a corresponding move.

The Mets have placed first baseman Pete Alonso on the injured list with a right hand sprain and Tommy Hunter on the injured list with lower back pain. The team has called up right-handed pitcher Yennsy Diaz and infielder Brandon Drury to take their places on the active roster. And last but not least, the Mets activated Sam McWilliams from the COVID-related injured list and have designated left-handed pitcher Daniel Zamora for assignment to clear a spot on the 40-man roster.

Diaz was recalled by the Mets on Friday. Diaz's big-league experience to date consists of a single relief outing for the Blue Jays in 2019, in which he walked four batters and allowed two runs while recording just two outs. He's set to get his first chance for his new team after coming over in the Steven Matz trade in January.

With his new role and a fresh start in New York, Diaz hopes to move through the year towards a bullpen role in Queens.

Diaz was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday. Diaz has just a single big-league appearance on his resume, so he was never particularly likely to break camp on the active roster. That outing, in which he walked four of the seven batters he faced and allowed two runs as a Blue Jay back in 2019, was his only one above Double-A, so he'll need to prove himself at the Triple-A level before pushing to return to the highest level.

Before he joined the Mets as part of the Steven Matz trade in late January, Yennsy Díaz had spent his his professional career in the Blue Jays organization. The 24-year-old right-handed pitcher has just one major league appearance under his belt, and aside from that, he hasn’t yet pitched above Double-A.
