Mets’ Familia Diagnosed With Arterial Clot In Shoulder, Surgery Possible

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The hits keep on coming for the Mets — and not the good kind.

The Mets announced Thursday that closer Jeurys Familia has been diagnosed with an arterial clot in his right shoulder. He will undergo more tests to determine a course of action, which could include surgery.

In 11 appearances this season, Famila is 1-1 with a 3.
