The Mets announced that left-handed reliever Jerry Blevins, has been cleared by team doctors to begin throwing.
Blevins sustained a broken left wrist on April 19 after taking a comebacker to the mound against the Marlins.
There is no timetable for his return yet but clearly this is a step in the right direction. The Mets could certainly use his arm in the bullpen right now.
Blevins has retired all 15 batters he faced this season.
By the way, Sandy Alderson told reporters on Wednesday night that he has no intentions of pursuing a reliever before the trade deadline in response to the Jenry Mejia suspension.
