HBT: Mets pitcher hospitalized for finger numbness

UPDATE: Brad Como of SNY reports that tests on Gee revealed a clot in the artery of his right shoulder.

Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports that Mets starter Dillon Gee has been hospitalized for what manager Terry Collins described as numbness in his fingers.

?They aren?t sure what it is yet,? Collins told Rubin, adding that Gee is scheduled to undergo an angiogram and further testing.

Gee was admitted to the hospital Monday and Rubin talked to an unnamed Mets teammate who said ?the issue was believed to be blood-related in Gee?s shoulder.?

Gee, who?s emerged as a solid mid-rotation starter for the Mets at age 26 and threw 110 innings with a 4.10 ERA and 97/29 K/BB ratio in the first half, is lined up to start the second-half opener.
