You can subtract Angel Pagan from the Mets' outfield mix for this season. The team just announced that Pagan will have surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. The operation will be performed by Dr. David Altchek at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan.
Pagan injured the shoulder on May 7 when he flipped over a retaining wall at Dodger Stadium while making a catch of a foul ball. The Mets were hopeful that he would return after a rehab stint, but Pagan, a switch-hitter, was unable to bat from the right side.
