Mets' Matt Harvey: Has thoracic outlet syndrome

Harvey (shoulder) was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome on Thursday, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

Harvey was evaluated by doctors and was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, an injury resulting from excessive pressure put on a neuromuscular bundle around an area of the shoulder called the thoracic inlet. He likely has two options now; a nerve-block injection, or season-ending surgery. It's bad news for Harvey as both options spell significant time on the disabled list.
