After getting the close, Diaz celebrated with his Puerto Rican teammates and immediately went down with a leg injury.
Edwin Diaz just hurt his knee after celebrating the win and he can’t put any weight on his leg. He was taken off the field in wheelchair. #PuertoRico #Mets https://t.co/2suh40DaWL

Diaz had to be carried off the field because he couldn’t put any pressure on his leg.
Edwin Diaz went down during the celebration. He seems to be grabbing at his right knee and is receiving medical attention near the mound.
