The Mets sent pitcher Josh Edgin to New York City for testing Wednesday, one day after he underwent an MRI on his left elbow in Florida, MLB.com reports.

Edgin drew the team's concern with his diminished velocity in Grapefruit League play. He was slated to be the team's only left-hander in the bullpen. Rule 5 pick Sean Gilmartin and camp invitee Scott Rice would be two options to serve as the team's bullpen lefty if Edgin has to miss time.
