Good news on the injury front for Metropolitan flamethrower Zack Wheeler, who threw for the first time since his Tommy John Surgery back on March 25th of this year.
The 25-year old is expected to return to the Mets sometime around the All-Star break in 2016.

Thoughts from Avery
It may never happen, but anything is possible. But thinking about the potential Metropolitan rotation for the second half of the 2016 season has me excited.
This is a rotation that could feature five stud, front-of-the-rotation types that throw heat.
The rotation is in a position to be dominant over the next few years (at least until Matt Harvey becomes a free agent). As I see it, a rotation of Harvey, Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard, Zack Wheeler and Steven Matz would give the mets one of, if not the best starting five in the league.
