Matt Harvey to Undego Season-Ending Surgery

Mets RHP Matt Harvey has decided to have surgery to fix his Thoratic Outlet Syndrome. The surgery will be performed by Dr. Robert Thomspon in St. Louis. Thompson also operated on former Met RHP Dillion Gee to remove a blood clot in his shoulder. Harvey's agent Scott Boras said that Harvey's doctors recommended to have the surgery now so he can ready for the 2017 season. Boras said that Harvey has had a difficult time with command of his pitches because of loss of feeling in his fingertips going back to Spring Training. This could be the reason why Harvey has struggled so much this year. In the meantime, Harvey's injury could allow RHP Logan Verrett or LHP Sean Gilmartin could emerge in the rotation. It's possible the Mets could also go out and trade for a starting pitcher.
