Former New York Mets outfielder Lenny Dykstra has pleaded guilty to three counts stemming from a bankruptcy fraud case in Los Angeles.
Harvey might be the top choice among Mets fans to take Dillon Gee's spot in the rotation. But manager Terry Collins warned that trial by fire isn't exactly ideal during a playoff chase.
In its news release Thursday, the team did not mention a timetable for Gee's return - but the operation is expected to keep him off the mound for months.
A detailed breakdown of Dillon Gee's shoulder injury.
Binghamton Mets president Mike Urda expressed little doubt that his club will reach an agreement with the New York Mets to keep the Double-A minor league team in Binghamton.
The blood clot in Dillon Gee's right shoulder probably proved the end of his season. But it's not the end of the world.
New York Mets prospect Matt Harvey worked two shutout innings in front of the hometown fans in Buffalo at the Triple-A All-Star game Wednesday night.
Just like "Manny being Manny" was used for years to explain the antics of former Red Sox star Manny Ramirez, the Mets legend explained to the Buffalo News that "Reggie is Reggie."
Before the unlikely battery could show their stuff on Wednesday, the "Late Show" host drilled Dickey on his signature pitch
The Mets said in a statement Wednesday that starter Dillon Gee was ready to be discharged from the hospital and would explore his options, including surgery.
So, can one of the biggest surprise teams in the first half (46-40) continue to surprise moving towards the finish line? Well, they need some things to change - and some to remain the same.
Gee has been put on the disabled list and left-hander Josh Edgin will be called up from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday before the Mets start a three-game series in Atlanta.
Ever since Mike Trout was called up, the Angels have been on fire. This 20 year old can do it all...hit for power (12 home runs), hit for a high average (.346) and he has great speed (leading the AL in steals).
OK, so it wasn't quite the treatment Robinson Cano got in Kansas City. But Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski certainly heard it from the crowd.

By the time the yelling and screaming subsides sometime around the Friday's regular season restart, you'll think letting Matt Cain pitch the first three innings was something akin to Tony La Russa punching R.A. Dickey in the throat.
Owner of the best record in baseball, R.A. Dickey was hoping to become the first knuckleballer to start an All-Star game since Dutch Leonard in 1943. A 12-1 record wasn't good enough.
Mets' fans had a feeling of gloom when they realized that the retired LaRussa would be given the honor of managing the National League. LaRussa has an agenda when he manages the National League. He has a grudge against certain teams.
In the year of Linsanity and Tebow-mania, Dickey has been one of the best stories in New York sports -- not to mention MLB. But he won't get the ball to start the All-Star game.
