Vic Black undergoes MRI on neck

The Mets are waiting for the diagnosis revealed by an MRI on right-hander Vic Black, who has been dealing with a neck problem. He had claimed it was no more than stiffness, but the MRI was taken to make sure there is no structural damage.

Black, who first felt irritation last week in Oakland, gave up a run for the first time in seven appearances Saturday. He has not pitched since.
