Diaz’s toe OK after line drive

Edwin Diaz remained in the bullpen Friday night, watching as Seth Lugo recorded his first save of the season.

By Saturday, Diaz should reclaim his role — for now, at least.

Less than 24 hours after the Mets’ closer was drilled by a line drive on his left big toe and limped out of Citi Field, Diaz said he felt “great,” and declared himself ready to return after warming up Friday. Manager Mickey Callaway, however, determined Diaz needed rest more than a chance for his 23rd save.

“Since it’s his landing foot, and that’s the foot he has to brace off of and pop up on, I think we decided let’s give him one more day,” Callaway said before the Mets beat the Pirates 6-3.

When the Manny Machado liner collided with Diaz’s foot, the closer believed a stint on the injured list might not be far off.

“I was kind of just thinking, hopefully nothing was broken,” Diaz said. “I needed to get out of there to get it checked out. ... The moment the ball hit me, it hurt a lot. “Thank God it was nothing worse.”

➤ Jeff McNeil and Wilson Ramos each hit their 10th home run, giving the team seven players with double-digit homers. ... McNeil, who put the Mets ahead with a three-run homer in the third, is batting .397 (27-for-68) on the first pitch of at-bats. ... Ramos has hit at least 10 home runs for the seventh straight season, making him the only catcher in the majors to do so.

➤ Amed Rosario went 1-for-3 with a triple, and is batting .364 over his past 15 games. ... Lugo has thrown 10 2/3 scoreless innings in his past 10 games. ... Luis Avilan hasn’t allowed a run in eight games (5 ¹/3 innings) since returning from a two-month stint on the injured list.

➤ Walker Lockett was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse. The pitcher holds a 7.82 ERA in three starts with the Mets this season.
