Mets minor-league pitcher Jenrry Mejia was diagnosed Monday with a complete MCL tear in his right elbow.
Mejia, at Triple-A Buffalo, was examined by Mets medical director Dr. David Altchek and underwent an MRI exam at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan.
Surgery has been recommended, but Mejia is expected to seek a second opinion.
In his last start for Buffalo on April 29, he left after four innings with discomfort and was flown to New York to be examined.
In five starts for the Bisons, Mejia was 1-2 with a 2.86 ERA with 21 strikeouts in 28 1/3 innings.
Mejia went 0-4 with a 4.62 ERA in 33 games, three starts for New York in 2010. Mejia was shut down last season in September because of a shoulder strain.
