New York Mets reliever Jeurys Familia has been diagnosed with an arterial clot is his right shoulder, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, who also reported that the pitcher is going to St. Louis to undergo further testing.
DiComo added that the Mets announced surgery is a possibility. Joel Sherman of the New York Post reported the Mets aren't sure how long Familia could be out at this time. Sherman also noted that former MLB pitcher David Cone suffered a similar injury in 1996 and missed four months as a result.
