Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - The New York Mets announced Tuesday that pitcher John Maine underwent successful surgery on his ailing right shoulder.
The 27-year-old had a lesion removed from the back of his shoulder socket. Maine will begin rehabilitation immediately and is expected to make a full recovery by the start of training camp.
Mets medical director David Altchek and team physician Struan Coleman performed the arthroscopic procedure at New York's Hospital for Special Surgery.
Maine, who was shutdown in late August because of persistent pain in the shoulder, finished 10-8 with a 4.18 earned run average in 25 starts for the Mets.
