Mets right-hander Zack Wheeler has been diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow.

Although the Mets have not committed to Tommy John surgery, that is the likely treatment for such an injury.

Wheeler underwent an MRI on Saturday in Florida that was subsequently reviewed by team doctor David Altchek. Wheeler will travel to New York for further consultation with Altchek at the Hospital for Special Surgery, the team announced Monday.
