Vic Black will undergo an MRI exam on his achy right shoulder Monday, yet the hard-throwing reliever expressed confidence nothing is seriously wrong with his barking wing. Regardless, the right-hander sounded as if he has thrown his last competitive pitch for 2014.
Following the Mets' 3-0 loss to the Nationals at Citi Field on Sunday, Black said a team physician (he didn't know which one) conducted a strength test on his shoulder.
"He just thinks it's fatigue," Black said.
Black, who recently finished a stint on the disabled list with a herniated disk in his neck, reported weakness in his shoulder Saturday night after throwing an inning in the Mets' 10-3 loss to Washington and displaying reduced velocity.
"We're concerned about it, there's no question," said manager Terry Collins, who acknowledged Bobby Parnell first experienced neck problems and wound up needing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. "This guy lives and dies with power stuff. Even though there's nothing wrong with 93 [mph], that's not Vic Black. So we've got to certainly be very careful with it."
Hence the likelihood that, even if the MRI reveals nothing serious, we won't see Black — one of the Mets' breakout performers of this season — on a mound again until 2015. As Black pointed out, it doesn't make much sense to go hard on a guy with arm fatigue, especially with the Mets all but dead in the race for a playoff spot.
Outfielder Matt den Dekker, who hadn't hit in a game since Tuesday, when he took a pitch to his left hand, pinch hit in the ninth inning for Eric Young Jr. and legged out an infield single. He said he felt much better, and he could return to the starting lineup Monday night.
Lefty reliever Dana Eveland will not pitch again this season due to discomfort in his pitching elbow, the Mets announced. He planned to return to his California home on Sunday.
