Realmuto. After a brief consultation with manager Carlos Mendoza and trainers, the right-hander was removed from the game.<\/p>\n<p id=\"D7KKLHX2XRD6JI7MKQZSWZDI44\">After the Mets\u2019 4-3 win, completing the sweep of the Phillies on Wednesday, Mendoza revealed that D\u00edaz was experiencing \u201ccramping\u201d in his left hip.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4HHS5ZNUVVC7ZNHD2CZSCLKRQ4\">\u201cWe did all the tests &#8230; and everything was fine,\u201d D\u00edaz told reporters after the game. \u201cIn the fastball I threw to Realmuto, I feel like my hip got locked up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"NRDVLZYT4ZHULAPCR3TD3VNPQ4\">D\u00edaz explains that he was having difficulty lifting his leg to come set before delivering a pitch. So he continued to step off the mound to reset his wind-up.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5GHE435LIVABJEEZ2B6IBAM3PM\">Before Realmuto\u2019s at-bat, D\u00edaz says he was feeling \u201cfine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"JNJ6WF6VXBAGNHRCCLYLPPJS3U\">The veteran closer has never felt his leg lock up before Wednesday. He elaborated on something that happened with a team trainer on Tuesday that might have caused this to occur.<\/p>\n<p id=\"LNWKZNVZPVBJ3DHVOATHDDVMUE\">\u201cI was working with the trainer to get ready for the game (and) I was watching my leg and &#8230; the right one (was) longer than the left one,\u201d D\u00edaz explained. \u201cSo I asked him if that was normal, and he said, \u2018No.\u2019 So he (worked) on my hips right away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"GCHQBXBM2BBJ3O37KBBIWRB6Q4\">What caused this to occur? D\u00edaz couldn\u2019t say.<\/p>\n<p id=\"O2UZ3VNEW5DJPAHDY7FD54N6OM\">D\u00edaz had pitched a clean ninth inning before coming back out for the 10th inning, where he struck out the lead-off hitter before allowing an RBI single to right fielder Nick Castellanos.<\/p>\n<p id=\"CT42HOZ5ZJECND3RACNA3GAVQU\">Right-hander Max Kranick entered the game to replace D\u00edaz.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7XNQR6XF4JCRTC5FBOFWZUMORE\">Asked if he\u2019ll be ready to pitch on Friday, when the Mets kick off a four-game set against the Washington Nationals, D\u00edaz was non-committal.<\/p>\n<p id=\"W3BWNUZANBESJNGTN5Q762NJFI\">\u201cAs of right now, let\u2019s see how we feel tomorrow,\u2019 D\u00edaz said. \u201dI feel strong. We did some work on my hip, and I was feeling better after. Let\u2019s see how I feel on Friday.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section><\/section>\n<p id=\"ATDEFF6IVZFAFCO5V25OS3CRDM\">\n<\/div>\n<p>If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
