Mets expect A.J. Minter to make one more Triple-A rehab start before rejoining team
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was encouraged by A.J. Minter's progress in the minors and says he is in play for a return after the Miami Marlins series.
The Mets bullpen should be getting reinforcement really soon. Manager Carlos Mendoza spoke with the media ahead of Wednesday's game against the Nationals and gave an update on A. J.
Minter, and the news is promising. "He’s going to pitch one more time in Syracuse, could be Saturday or Sunday, depending on how he recovers from the back-to-back," Mendoza said. "It’s a quick turnaround.
" Minter pitched Tuesday night for the Syracuse Mets and struck out one batter in his one inning of work. He was then asked to come in less than 24 hours later for Syracuse's 11 a. m.
start and pitched 0. 2 innings. He allowed a run on a hit, walk and a hit batter, raising his ERA to 2.
