Mets’ Gee out of hospital

Posted on Jul 12, 2012 in Sports | 0 comments

New York Mets pitcher Dillon Gee left a New York hospital Wednesday after being treated for a blood clot in his throwing shoulder.

The team said the right-hander would consider additional treatment, including surgery, to prevent further blood clotting. Doctors at New York-Presbyterian Hospital used a catheter to break up the clot that began causing numbness in Gee’s fingers on his right hand Sunday.

Gee will miss his next start and go on the disabled list.

He is 6-7 with a 4.10 earned run average in 17 starts this season.
