Wagner's Injury Not Serious

Fear not, Mets fans. An injury to closer Billy Wagner's shoulder apparently is nothing more than a "muscle spasm" according to a report posted on espn.com. Team public relations direction Jay Horwitz said Tuesday that an MRI on the Wagner's shoulder at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York showed "no structural damage" and that a spasm was diagnosed around Wagner's pitching shoulder.

The New York Times reported that Wagner is considered day to day. Whether he will be available for Tuesday's game against the Phillies has not been determined. Wagner will throw before the game and then let manager Jerry Manuel know whether he can pitch.
