Mets third baseman J.D. Davis to undergo hand surgery; Mets lose season finale to Braves

ATLANTA – J.D. Davis’ third — and perhaps final — season with the Mets will end in left hand surgery.

The Mets third baseman will undergo a procedure to repair a torn ligament in his left hand on Tuesday morning in Dayton, Ohio. Dr. Thomas Graham will perform the operation.

“I’ve always said it kind of bothered me here and there, it would flare up. I tried to gut it out,” Davis said. “The team needed me, and I just tried to play games under the circumstances.”

His hand had bothered him all season and caused him to go on the injury list multiple times.
