Mets catcher René Rivera will have surgery on Wednesday to remove a bone spur from his left elbow and has been transferred to the 45-day injured list. (Anthony DiComo on Twitter)

Rivera had only appeared in two games for the Mets this year and he'll now miss the rest of the season as he recovers from elbow surgery. And for a catcher pushing 38 years old, it's possible this could be the end of the road for Rivera.
