“Eight (months) is a pretty realistic goal here,” said Dr. Eppler added that athletes with the injury have returned as early as around six months, but those instances, as he put it, “are a little bit more the exception than the rule.” The general timeline for recovery is usually about eight months, Mets general manager Billy Eppler said on Wednesday, which would rule Díaz out for the 2023 season. He is expected to begin a formal rehab program in about a week. After all, the recovery process has just started. Missing the whole season remains the most likely outcome, despite any sense of optimism. Still, it’s unfair to place any expectation whatsoever on Díaz possibly returning in 2023. I feel blessed and grateful for your support with messages and prayers, thank you very much! I can't wait to see you guys in NY again and play those trumpets. To all my beloved fans, especially the Mets fans, I want to let you know that I am doing well and healing. “I think that matters, it shows you care.”
“It’s important to have a personal touch,” Cohen said last month when discussing how he tries to build personal relationships with players. Waiting for him there was a trainer, nutritionist and personal chef, courtesy of Cohen and the Mets.Ĭohen called Díaz to tell him, “We’re going to do everything we can to get you better and take care of you.” He has already returned to his home in Port St. Just hours after suffering his freak injury during a celebration with team Puerto Rico, Díaz underwent surgery Thursday afternoon. So the Mets didn’t need to fly Díaz anywhere for a second opinion they received one digitally, according to a major-league source, another measure that saved time. In another bit of good fortune, the Hospital for Special Surgery operates a location in south Florida. David Altchek happened to be in town, too. Fortunately for the Mets and Díaz, the club’s medical director Dr. Imaging around noon on Thursday confirmed that hunch. Carr quickly surmised that the injury was likely a torn patellar tendon. James Carr was in Miami for the World Baseball Classic at the time of the injury and gave Díaz an examination. But the Mets were positioned to move fast. The longer the wait, the more scarring occurs, and that adds to the recovery process. In a situation like Díaz’s, it’s vital to operate immediately. The hope mainly stems from Díaz’s resiliency and how the situation on Wednesday night was handled. “There is some optimism,” a person close to Díaz told The Athletic.
