Mets' Maine to miss rest of season
Baseball Betting Lines
07/24/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New York Mets pitcher John Maine has undergone surgery on his right shoulder that will sideline him for the rest of the 2010 season.
The procedure was performed Friday by Dr. Michael Ciccotti in Philadelphia and cleaned out scar tissue in the shoulder.
Maine is expected to back in time for spring training in 2011.
He was lifted from his last start on May 20 against Washington after issuing a five-pitch walk to leadoff man Nyjer Morgan. Coaches noticed his velocity was down in pre-game warmups, and when it did not improve to start the game, he was removed.
Maine and Mets manager Jerry Manuel argued in the dugout after he was pulled, as Maine wanted to continue. The 26-year-old right-hander insisted he wasn't injured, but landed on the disabled list after being looked at by doctors.
According to Maine, he was initially diagnosed with shoulder tendinitis, but was told he would be able to pitch through it.
The University of North Carolina-Charlotte product attempted a comeback with two minor league starts but said he did not feel right after the second on June 18 after throwing 4 1/3 innings for Triple-A Buffalo.
He compiled a 1-3 record and a 6.13 earned run average in 39 2/3 innings this season and is eligible for arbitration after the current season is over.
Maine is 41-36 with a 4.35 ERA in 108 games, 105 starts, with Baltimore and New York since breaking into the big leagues in 2004.
