Mets' Jeurys Familia may need surgery for blood clot in his right shoulder

New York Mets closer Jeurys Familia may require surgery on an arterial clot in his right shoulder.

What It Means:

He's undergoing tests on Thursday with Dr. Robert Thompson, and we should have a better idea on his status on Friday. Addison Reed will take over closer duties in Familia's absence.

Familia has posted a shaky 4.93 SIERA with a 23.3 percent strikeout rate and 1.61 WHIP through 11 games (9 1/3 innings pitched) this season.
