Mets’ Edwin Diaz gets weirdest leg injury news you’ve ever heard image

We're still over here trying to process what Edwin Diaz shared with reporters earlier on Wednesday.

We'll start with what the New York Mets closer said to reporters to explain the situation:

"Yesterday, we noticed one (leg) was longer than the other one."

That's quite the thing to notice deep into a successful MLB career.

But that's not the most interesting part.

Diaz and the Mets training staff fixed the problem almost immediately.

"I saw the right one was longer than the left one," Diaz said. "I asked, 'That normal?' He said, 'No.' So he fixed my hips right away."

Diaz's conclusion: "I was feeling better after."

Diaz was coming off a shaky outing on Monday in which he allowed a homer against the Phillies.

Overall, he has a 5.59 ERA this season in 10 appearances. Diaz has converted six saves, and he has 15 strikeouts in 9.2 innings.

If anything, he should be even better now that he isn't moving around with slightly lopsided legs.

Definitely not the injury you worry about a pitcher dealing with, but at least it's solved now.
