Blood Clot Puts Mets" Dillon Gee on Disabled List Dillon Gee landed on the disabled list after giving his best performance of the season. Mets starter Dillon Gee was hospitalized Sunday after complaining of numbness in his fingers. The Mets announced Tuesday that a blood clot in his shoulder was diagnosed. He remains at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, and the team has placed him on the disabled list. Gee, 26, worked his way into the Mets' rotation this season and had one of his best outings of the season Saturday, allowing one hit in eight innings against the Chicago Cubs. But when he experienced numbness Sunday, the team sent him for tests. The Mets said that doctors used a catheter to break up the clot and that he would remain in the hospital for another day or two for observation. In 2009 Gee missed more than 100 games after being called up to Class AAA because of a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder. He was called up to the Mets for the first time in September 2010 and has a career record of 21-15 over the past three seasons. He is 6-7 this season with a 4.10 earned run average and was scheduled to start the first game of the second half in Atlanta on Friday. The clot puts the rest of Gee's season in doubt and muddles the picture of what the Mets will need to do to stay in contention in the second half. It was expected that they would look for bullpen help, but now the starting rotation may be missing Gee indefinitely as well. David Cone's 1996 season with the Yankees was interrupted when he developed an aneurysm in his throwing shoulder leading to a blood clot. It was successfully treated and he returned to become a mainstay in the lineup before the playoffs. Yankees pitcher Mariano Rivera's recent anterior cruciate ligament injury involved a blood clot in his knee. In 2008 Tigers pitcher Jeremy Bonderman missed most of the season after receiving a diagnosis of a blood clot. He did not return until 2010.
