New York Mets GM Sandy Alderson addressed the media on Friday and gave updates on several injured players that are currently on the disabled list.
Noah Syndergaard and Matt Harvey are both close to beginning throwing programs.
Syndergaard, 24, hasn’t pitched since April 30 because of a partial tear of his right lat muscle.
Matt Harvey, 28, went down in the middle of June after several starts in which his velocity would drop alarmingly low after the first inning.
This proved to be a stress injury to the scapula in his pitching shoulder, several months after he went under the knife to relieve complications from Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
Neil Walker has ramped up his running activity and is 7 to 10 days away. Walker has been out since June 15th with a partially torn hamstring.
Josh Smoker is expected to be activated in three or four days. He has made two rehab appearances for the St. Lucie Mets with his latest coming on July 10 and pitching two innings.
