Not a good decade to be a pitching phenom in the NL East.
The Mets announced that hard-thrower and sexy man Matt Harvey has a partial tear in his ulnar collateral ligament that may require Tommy John surgery:
Sandy: Matt Harvey examined for "forearm tenderness." Confirms partial tear of UCL. In all likelihood going on DL. Possible done for season

Alderson said they'll wait to determine TJ surgery necessity until swelling subsides. "It is conceivable no surgery will be necessary."

GM: "This is not a career-ending injury under any stretch of the imagination….We're fortunate we have a lot of pitching depth in our org."
