New York Mets star closer Edwin D\u00edaz injured his right knee while celebrating a win that sent Puerto Rico into the next round of the World Baseball Classic and eliminated the Dominican Republic. D\u00edaz was taken off the field in a wheelchair in Miami soon after pitching a perfect ninth inning to close out Puerto Rico s 5-2 win over the Dominicans. The Mets said D\u00edaz will have further tests on Thursday. The Puerto Rican players were jumping together in the infield when D\u00edaz collapsed to the ground, and he quickly reached for his right leg. D\u00edaz was in tears. Also, the United States and Cuba advanced to the next round with wins.
