Mets LHP Jason Vargas threw a bullpen session Monday in advance of surgery Tuesday to remove the hamate bone in his non-throwing hand.
"It gives me the best opportunity to have a normal hand in a six-week period," Vargas said Monday about the surgery, noting that the injury limits him more at bat and in the field than on the mound. He also added that the surgery will mean there won't be issues when catching a ball.
It was revealed Sunday that Vargas suffered a fracture of the hamate bone on his glove have after being hit with a line drive during a minor league game last Friday.
