Diaz was scratched from his start Thursday with Triple-A Salt Lake and is likely to be recalled to start Friday against the Mets, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
The Angels have confirmed they will recall a pitcher from the minors to start Friday. A spot in the rotation opened after Noah Syndergaard was pushed back in the rotation, so Diaz would likely only be making a spot start. Diaz has made three appearances with the big-league club this season and has a 1.32 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 10:8 K:BB across 13.2 frames.
