Mets put Edwin Díaz on IL with shoulder impingement, then Pete Alonso exits after HBP

Struggling closer Edwin Díaz was placed on the 15-day IL Wednesday by the Mets with a right shoulder impingement, while Pete Alonso was removed from that afternoon's game after a hit by pitch.

Struggling closer Edwin Díaz was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday by the New York Mets with a right shoulder impingement. The team made the announcement about 15 minutes before its series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers. In another discouraging development moments later, slugger Pete Alonso exited in the first inning after getting hit on the right hand by a 93 mph fastball from James Paxton. The Mets said Alonso would undergo imaging.

He struck out two in a scoreless inning, then blew a save chance the following day when he squandered a one-run lead in the ninth inning of a loss to the Giants. The 30-year-old didn't pitch Tuesday when the Mets were swept by the Dodgers in a doubleheader. New York took a one-run lead into the ninth inning of the opener, but manager Carlos Mendoza brought in Adam Ottavino instead of Díaz. Ottavino blew the lead, and New York lost 5-2 in 10 innings.
