He has tried several times to return, but hasn't been able to shake the pain. He tested his arm Sunday and had disappointing results. He will be re-examined Monday and is likely done for the season, manager Jerry Manuel said. Wagner is 0-1 with a 2.30 ERA and 27 saves in 34 chances. He is in the third season of a four-year, $43 million contract. The Mets are 22-11 since Wagner went down.

McLouth left with a cut above his left eyebrow that required three stitches, and was replaced by Nyjer Morgan. McLouth also required treatment from a Pirates trainer after he was hit by a pitch in the third.
