Edwin Díaz was in charge of getting the last three outs for Puerto Rico over the Dominican Republic to qualify for the Quarterfinals of the World Baseball Classic 2023. However, it was not all joy for the Puerto Ricans, as during the celebration, the pitcher suffered an injury and left the field in a wheelchair.
