A person familiar with the pitcher's situation said Tuesday that Tom Glavine does not need surgery on his troublesome left shoulder and could soon rejoin the New York Mets' rotation.
Glavine felt coldness in his left ring finger after a start last week, triggering fears that a blood clot might have developed that could end his season ? or possibly, his career.
An angiogram Monday showed that no invasive procedure is needed, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Mets had not made an official announcement.
