Mets' Harvey might need surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome (Yahoo Sports)

Matt Harvey has symptoms consistent with thoracic outlet syndrome, and the New York Mets star could be facing season-ending surgery to treat a serious condition that has jeopardized the career of other major league pitchers. General manager Sandy Alderson announced the diagnosis Thursday after Harvey was examined in St. Louis by a specialist, Dr. Robert Thompson. Alderson says a decision on surgery is likely to come in the next few days before the All-Star break.
