NEW YORK -- The New York Mets say right-hander Dillon Gee is being discharged from the hospital after having surgery to break up a blood clot in his throwing shoulder. The Mets said in a release Wednesday that Gee could have further surgery to prevent a possible recurrence of the clot in the same location of his arm. Gee has been put on the disabled list and left-hander Josh Edgin will be called up from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday before the Mets start a three-game series in Atlanta. Gee complained of numb fingers on his right hand Sunday, a day after he pitched. Tests on Monday revealed the shoulder clot. Doctors at New York-Presbyterian Hospital used a catheter to break up the clot. The 26-year-old was scheduled to start New Yorks first game after the All-Star break against the Braves. He is 6-7 on the season with a 4.10 ERA and has been one of the Mets most effective pitchers recently, with a 3.34 ERA over the last month. The Mets had already juggled their rotation for after the break, moving back Johan Santana to allow the left-handers ankle more time to heal. Santana twisted it in his last start and he will not pitch until at least Sunday. Mike Pelfrey had season-ending elbow surgery in early May. Cheap Jerseys China ."

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Sure enough, putting was all the rage Thursday in the World Challenge. One day after golfs governing bodies proposed a new rule that will ban the anchored stroke used for long putters, Keegan Bradley talked about someone on Twitter telling the PGA champion to send in his resume to Burger King in 2016, when the rule goes into effect. Bradley got so fed up with the teasing over his belly putter this week that he grabbed Tiger Woods putter and made three out of four from 10 feet. The rule doesnt affect Nick Watney, though he couldnt say enough about his putting. He made five birdies on his last 10 holes -- including his first birdie ever on the 14th hole at Sherwood -- for a 5-under 67 that gave him a two-shot lead. Woods putting saved his round, even though most of them were for par. That included a 12-foot putt on the 15th and an 8-footer to avoid bogey on the par-5 16th. It added up to a 70, which left him very much in the hunt at an 18-man event where he is more than just a tournament host. Without a title sponsor, Woods is underwriting most of the cost. And yes, even Steve Stricker made news Thursday with his putter. He tried a new one. "Mid-life crisis," he said. The World Challenge is not a hit-and-giggle at the end of the year, even with a short field, no cut and lots of holiday cash for all involved. The field is stronger than ever, with 13 players from the Ryder Cup, and it showed in the scores. On a cool, overcast day in the Conejo Valley, only eight shots separated the top (Watney) from Brandt Snedeker, bringing up the rear with a 75. Snedeker drilled a fairway metal into 8 feet and made eagle on the 11th hole, only for his round to fall apart. He hit two provisional tee shots on the par-3 12th, didnt have to use them but still made bogey, and then he snap-hooked his next tee shot and made double bogey. Bradley and a pair of past champions at this tournament -- Jim Furyk and Graeme McDowell -- were two shots out of the lead at 69. Woods was in the group at 70 that included Bo Van Pelt, whom Woods beat this year at Congressional, and U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson. But the buzz remained over the belly. Bradley was the first player to win a major using the belly putter at the 2011 PGA Championship, and then Simpson and Ernie Els followed this year. Bradley is not happy about the rule, though he has been respectful toward the U.S. Golf Association and Royal & Ancient in their right to set the rules. But this is a guy who plays with a chip on his shoulder, and this chip could be a big one. He described his round as awesome, aside from a bad break on the 18th that led to bogey, the only green he missed all day. &quoot;If I could have made a few more putts, I probably could have been a lot lower," he said, pausing before he added, "I know people probably dont want to hear that.dddddddddddd" He then revealed how much abuse he was taking on Twitter, though he knows better not to take seriously a comment from people he either doesnt know or who dont use their real names in social media. That would include one tweet telling him to send in an application to Burger King for 2016. "Ive been doing a better job lately of not reading them, but Im going to make a switch when I feel its best for me," Bradley said. "And whether thats tomorrow or in three years, well see." The switch earlier this week to Woods putter was only temporary, and it was a joke. "I give him grief every day," Woods said. Too bad Bradley didnt make Woods try a few putts with the belly. "You dont want to see Tiger with that putter," Bradley said. If it was up to me, Id film him and send that to Mike Davis. I think he would take the ban off." Bradley did a little more experimenting after his round Thursday. He gripped his putter a little lower so that the end wasnt anchored to his belly. He ran the putter up his left arm for a few putts, the style used by Matt Kuchar that would remain legal. But as he tinkered around, he noticed a TV camera filming him and stopped. Its still a sensitive subject for Bradley, and he wants everyone to know hes a pretty good golfer with any putter in his bag. "I feel like the USGA has really put an X on our back and really shined a light on us, and I dont know if thats exactly fair," Bradley said. "I just hope that people look at us for the type of players that we are and the accomplishments that weve had, and not because we use a belly putter, and now the USGA says its going to be illegal. When we started putting with it, they were legal. And they still are. "Its a sticky situation, and I hope they can see through that." As for Stricker? He says he got his new putter at a golf store in Madison, Wis., which begged another question: What was he doing in a golf store? "Looking for a putter," he said. Stricker figured it was time to mix things up, so during his long break from golf, he went looking for a putter similar to what Luke Donald and Ian Poulter use. He bought a Sabertooth made by Odyssey, the same company that made the putter he has used so long even the metal tape on the bottom looks old. "I like the way it feels, and I putted good today, especially on the short ones," Stricker said. Not to worry. He brought his old putter with him to Sherwood. "Just in case," he said with a smile. cheap jerseys from china ' ' '
