Glavine will not require surgery and he will return to the Mets' rotation after missing only one start. The left-hander will miss Tuesday's scheduled outing against the St. Louis Cardinals after doctors asked that he rest after undergoing an angiogram to help them diagnose his condition. The tests revealed some clotting in his left shoulder but it was not new and will not require surgery. The Mets feared losing the ace for the rest of the season.
