A blow to the Mets?
Mets GM Omar Minaya said that right-hander Philip Humber, the club's first round selection -- and third overall -- in the 2004 draft, could be headed for a second opinion on his ailing pitching elbow.
Humber, 22, left his first start for Double-A Binghamton after just four innings on Monday, following a promotion from Class A St. Lucie of the Florida State League. Humber was examined by Mets team physicians Wednesday in New York and has been sent to the club's complex in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
"He has discomfort, and we are getting it checked out," Minaya said.
A published report Saturday said that Tommy John surgery -- which would sideline Humber for at least one year -- was a possibility, with Humber looking to visit either Dr. James Andrews or Dr. Lewis Yocum for opinions.
