(Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New York Mets pitcher\u00A0Shaun Marcum\u00A0will miss the remainder of the season after experiencing tingling and numbness in his throwing hand during his last start, reports ESPN.com.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Marcum will have surgery on Monday to repair an artery blockage that was causing numbness in his right hand.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Marcum allowed six runs on a career-high 11 hits, gave up\u00A0five earned runs\u00A0Saturday night against the Milwaukee Brewers and is 1-10 with a 5.29 ERA in 14 starts this season.\u00A0Marcum said he had been experiencing tingling and a loss of feeling in his hand in his last two starts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Marcum's WAR (wins against replacement) has declined each of the last three seasons and will be a free agent at season's end.\u201CI am certainly concerned,\u201D Mets manager Terry Collins said. \u201CI don\u2019t want this thing to keep flaring up. Maybe the rest is the best thing for him at this time, I\u2019ll talk to Shaun today also about it, where he stands and where we stand on it all. Eventually we\u2019ll come up with a plan for the next two weeks.\"&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
