Any thoughts that Tim Tebow could make his major league debut with the Mets in September are gone.
Tebow broke the hamte bone in his right hand while swinging this weekend and will undergo surgery Tuesday.

Overall Tebow fared better than many would have expected at Double-A. He will end the year with a .273/.336/.399 line to go with six homers and 36 RBI.
