New York Mets starting pitcher Dillon Gee was hospitalized Monday with a blood clot in the artery of his right (pitching) shoulder, according to a report from Brad Como of SNY.
Como also reports that Gee has been placed on the 15-day disabled list. He had been scheduled to make his next start Friday against the Atlanta Braves, but -- according to manager Terry Collins -- experienced numbness in his fingers and decided on a trip to the hospital.
Gee underwent a procedure to break up the clot, but still hasn't been released from the hospital.
"Doctors ... used catheter to break up clot. Dillon will remain hospitalized for the next day or 2 to ensure the clot is fully resolved."
