Pitcher Dillon Gee continued to be put in the hospital in Manhattan on Tuesday after going through surgery to get rid of a bloodstream clot within an artery in the right shoulder. The Mets immediately placed him around the 15-day disabled list and stated there is no timetable for his return.
Based on an argument launched through the team, Gee reported numbness in the fingers Sunday. Doctors at New You are able to Presbyterian Hospital discovered the clot Monday and placed a catheter into his shoulder to interrupt up.
Arrived at by telephone in Might, Mo., where he offered like a coach within the All-Star Game, manager Terry Collins stated they was still being waiting to listen to more from doctors on Gee's condition.
"They haven't received word yet how bad it will likely be,Inch Collins stated. "Hopefully it isn't anything serious, but I am pretty worried about it."
Gee have been slated to begin Friday evening from the Braves in Atlanta. However, he won't be qualified to come back until This summer 22, in the earliest.
Gm Sandy Alderson stated Chris Youthful will begin Friday and Miguel Batista will range from the bullpen towards the last place within the rotation. They intends to contact a reliever to fill Gee's roster place prior to Friday's game.
Having a scheduled off day Monday, the Mets wouldn't require a fifth starter until This summer 21. But when they would like to give either Youthful or Johan Santana extra relaxation, they'd start Batista next Wednesday in Washington.
That solves their short-term issues, however the querry is still how lengthy they'll be without Gee-and just how well they are able to weather his absence.
