Wagner unable to come off DL as expected, may be done for year

Mets All-Star Closer Billy Wagner has more pain and swelling in his pitching elbow, and is out indefinitely. Wagner had an MRI exam Tuesday that revealed additional inflammation in his left elbow. The NL East leaders don't know when Wagner might be able to return to the mound, if at all, this season. The Mets had hoped to activate Wagner from the disabled list Monday in Pittsburgh. However, he felt discomfort in his elbow after throwing a simulated game Saturday and was sent back to New York for further evaluation.
