Mets pitcher Matt Harvey will miss the rest of the regular season after electing to undergo surgery to address symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome, his agent reportedly said.
Colon, 43, is 7-4 this season with a 3.28 ERA. The former Cy Young winner will be appearing in his fourth Midsummer Classic. He also was an All-Star in 1998, 2005 and 2013.

Something is going on with the Mets right now, and for the first time in a while no one is complaining.
Will it be Lin-sanity or just plain old insanity in Brooklyn next season? Nets fans, still reeling from the effects of the Billy King era, are used to the latter.
