Diaz, 31, injured himself while celebrating team Puerto Rico's win over the Dominican Republic. He tore his patellar tendon in his right knee and missed the entire season. 

Diaz didn't fully commit to playing for Puerto Rico but said he is open to it. 

"As of now, I would play if I had the chance to play. I would play to represent my country," Diaz said. 

"But I just want to go there and represent my country and have fun." Diaz said.

Diaz has been lights-out for the Mets this season and made the National League All-Star team. In 40 games this season, Diaz had a 1.55 ERA with a 5-0 record and 21 saves.
