Mets’ Edwin Diaz hurt during World Baseball Classic celebration

The entire Mets fanbase is holding its breath.

Star closer Edwin Diaz suffered what appeared to be a right leg celebration during an on-field celebration after he closed out Puerto Rico’s 5-2 win over the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic — a victory that sends Puerto Rico to the next round and eliminates the DR.

Diaz was unable to put pressure on the leg and then got in a wheelchair.
