Assistant General Manager John Ricco announced today that Chris Young has a torn anterior capsule in his right shoulder. This is the same injury Johan Santana suffered last season and required surgery to repair.
Young has not decided whether he will have surgery or not. After suffering a similar injury last season, he chose rehab over surgery.
In all likelihood, Young will be out for the rest of the season.Unfortunately for the Mets, Young has been one of the more consistent starting pitchers this season, posting a 1-0 record with 1.88 ERA in four starts.
In other injury news, Jenrry Mejia will undergo Tommy John Surgery. Mejia met with Dr. James Andrews seeking a second opinion. Andrews agreed with team doctor David Altchek's diagnosis. Altchek will perform the procedure.
Due to all of this, Dillon Gee will remain in the starting rotation, where he should have been all along.
