An MRI Monday revealed a mild rotator cuff strain for Mets reliever Vic Black, according to MLB.com, likely ending his season. He's not done just yet, though. The New York Daily News reports he will be shut down for 5-6 days and will attempt to throw after that.
Black experienced weakness in his shoulder, as well as reduced velocity, in his last appearance Saturday against the Nationals. It was just his second appearance since returning from a DL stint for a herniated disk in his neck.
