Circling the Bases: Might Mo Return?

A look at New York hurlers is followed by some of the numbers that stood out in the first half.

Dillon Gee has been placed on the DL with a blood clot in his right shoulder that required surgery. I know the issue seems minor, but it's not, in that if a clot goes to your heart it can end your life. If caught, as this was, there are a series of steps that can be taken that are nearly 100 percent likely to resolve the issue, but there's no telling how long Gee will be out (one of the treatments is often medication to think your blood and thereby resolve the clot. However, you are more susceptible to bleeding in this scenario which makes high levels of physical exertion a situation to avoid).
