The Mets announced on Tuesday evening that right-handed starter Taijuan Walker has been placed on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder bursitis. To take his place on the roster, closer Edwin Díaz has been activated from the bereavement list.

Mets also announced that Yennsy Díaz has cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse.

Monday night’s starting pitcher Taijuan Walker tweeted on Tuesday that “everything is all good.” Walker was scheduled to receive an MRI after a premature exit from his start against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Walker has been dealing with a injury to his right knee since the winter. He underwent surgery on it and has been working his way back to normal. Walker was pulled from his last start in spring training due to a flare up in his knee.

But Monday night, Walker didn’t experience any soreness in his knee. He was pulled with what the Mets announced as “right shoulder inflammation” after the second inning.

The effects of the injury were not visible on Walker. He was dealing through his two innings, allowing no hits, no walks, and striking out four batters. He threw 30 pitches, 20 for strikes.

Walker wasn’t the only pitcher injured during Monday nights contest. Trevor May departed in pain during the eight inning. May was returning for his second inning of work – something he did not do once in his first season with the Mets – and walked the first batter he faced on four pitches. He was pulled and walked off the field with pitching coach Jeremy Hefner and a member of the Mets training staff.

May received an MRI as well on Tuesday. He went with a similar approach to Walker, tweeting out a thumbs up emoji in the afternoon.

“It’s only been four weeks since we reported to spring training,” May said Monday night. “I think back to how I feel four weeks into spring usually, and it lines up. Hopefully that’s all it is.”

All signs point to the Mets pitchers being ready to go when their next time comes up.
