Wagner's Status: Not Good

Here is the updated medical information on Billy Wagner…

This doesn't sound like great news. The Mets just released this brief statement on Wagner's examination this morning:

Billy Wagner was re-evaluated today at New York's Hospital for Special Surgery. He continues to have swelling and pain in his elbow. He will need additional rest before he can resume throwing.

We'll see what Wagner has to say about this latest development when the clubhouse opens this afternoon. Looks like the Mets are going to need a contingency plan for the immediate future.
