In case you missed it in our minor league recap, lefty reliever Josh Edgin started the game for the St. Lucie Mets on Sunday as he began his rehab assignment.
Edgin allowed one run on a walk, single and sac fly before departing the game after 27 pitches thrown. He struck out one and registered two outs in his first relief appearance in over a year.
Attempting to come back from Tommy John surgery last Spring, Edgin has had no setbacks and is expected to rejoin the Mets bullpen around May 1 according to the team.
It will be interesting to see exactly how he fits in when that time comes, especially with how well Jim Henderson has been performing. The 33-year old righty is enjoying a renaissance of sorts, striking out seven of the nine batters he’s faced this season over three perfect relief appearances.
With Logan Verrett in the long relief and spot starter role, and high-priced arms Antonio Bastardo and Addison Reed assured of very long leashes, could Hansel Robles be on the bubble?
