    Mets right-hander Seth Lugo has a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow but has not decided whether he will have Tommy John surgery.

    Lugo had a platelet-rich plasma injection Tuesday at the Hospital for Special Surgery and will not throw for about two weeks. The teams said he then will start a throwing program and that the need for surgery will be determined based on how he feels after trying rehabilitation.
