According to what a team source told ESPN New York, while closer Bobby Parnell is due to open the season on the disabled list, he does not believe the absence would be lengthy.
“I would think two to three weeks,” said the source about the absence from Opening Day, while cautioning that time frame is far from certain.
Parnell underwent Tommy John surgery on April 8 and has had no setbacks during his rehab and recovery. He is due to address the media on Wednesday in Port St. Lucie.
Meanwhile Jenrry Mejia continues to say and do the right things. Today at Port St. Lucie, Mejia told Kristie Ackert of the Daily New he is willing to do whatever the team asks from him.
“I’ll go out there and throw the 7th, 8th, 9th, whatever they want . I’ll go out there and I say give me the ball and pitch in the game.”
