Putz has been suffering from a noticeable drop in his velocity of at least 5 mph recently, and the team was concerned enough to send him to Hospital for Special Surgery on Wednesday for an MRI exam.
The Mets say Putz will not need surgery and should be able to return to the bullpen by this weekend as long as he responds to the cortisone shot he received after the MRI.
