Glavine won?t need surgery on shoulder, should return soon

Tom Glavine does not need surgery on his troublesome left shoulder and will be able to rejoin the New York Mets? rotation in seven to 10 days.

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 test showed that the symptoms are caused by an old injury to an artery probably caused by pitching,? the Mets said in a statement Tuesday.
