Mets starting pitcher Zack Wheeler, who learned Monday he has a torn UCL in his right elbow, declined to take questions Tuesday morning as he awaits further evaluation, per ESPN.com.
Wheeler is scheduled to fly to New York on Tuesday evening and meet with Dr. David Altcheck, who is the team doctor, on Wednesday.
"I know you all have a lot of questions and stuff, but I'm not going to talk until I get Dr. Altchek's input," Wheeler said. "I'm going up there tonight and will see him tomorrow morning. Once I come back down, I'll talk to you all and give you all the information that you want. But, until then, I just want to make sure that I know everything first -- know all the right facts, instead of just throwing stuff out there."
