    Young Mets pitcher who drew Yankees' Nestor Cortes comparison out for the year

    Mets prospect Nate Lavender was one of the standouts of spring training in March. On Thursday, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns announced that Lavender was undergoing a “variation of Tommy John surgery” to reporters at Citizens Bank Park. Lavender will get an internal bracing procedure that will knock him out for the rest of the year.

  • Deadspin | Yankees begin homestand against AL-worst White Sox

    While the hitters are doing their part, the pitching staff is helping the New York Yankees get rolling again. After holding the Minnesota Twins to a total of one run in a three-game sweep, the Yankees will attempt to extend their winning streak to five games on Friday when they host the Chicago White Sox in the opener of a three-game series. Since scoring just six runs and losing three of four games at Baltimore from April 29-May 2, the Yankees are 10-2 and have allowed three runs or fewer in eight of those games. After outscoring the host Twins 14-1 in the three-game set, New York is returning home for a seven-game homestand, with the Seattle Mariners following the White Sox into town.
