After having an X-ray taken at Shea Stadium, Zambrano, in tears and with his elbow having swelled up, was taken to a Manhattan hospital for an MRI. Zambrano's agent, Peter Greenberg, told Newsday last night the MRI revealed a torn flexor tendon in the pitcher's elbow. Zambrano will most likely be out for the season.
"Obviously, Victor's very down," Greenberg said. "He was pitching with discomfort and he knew there was something wrong, but he was trying to tough it out. It's the end of the line for this year."
Greenberg said Zambrano will speak with the doctor tomorrow to schedule the surgery and might seek a second opinion, though that seems unnecessary. "If it's torn, it's torn," Greenberg said. "It's just one of those things."

Everytime he starts pitching well he gets injured....I remember one of the knocks on Kazmir when he was traded is that he would always be injured...
Tom Glavine is coming back to pitch for the Mets next season, meaning he'll very likely earn his 300th victory in a Mets uniform.
"We're going to pick up his option," one Mets decision-maker said Friday.
One of the smartest moves the Mets made was their quiet, heretofore-ignored agreement with Glavine to restructure his contract in March 2005. That's when they changed his deferred payment schedule and, without notice or fanfare, added an $11-million 2007 option, a distinct bargain for the resurrected Cooperstown-bound pitcher with 279 career victories.
Had the option not been added, Glavine, 40, would have had his own option to return to the Braves, something we know he's considered before, thanks to Braves GM John Schuerholz's revealing book, "Built to Win."
