A.J. Minter

The Mets have placed left-hander A.J. Minter (lat) on the 15-day injured list.

Minter is recovering from left lat surgery and is expected back in either late April or early May, given that he is about a month behind the other pitchers in Mets camp. The veteran southpaw posted a tidy 1.64 ERA in just 13 games for the Mets last season and owns a 3.23 career ERA across 397 big league outings.

Mets reliever A.J. Minter reportedly could be ready to make his season debut in late April or early May.

Minter posted a 1.64 ERA in 13 outings for the Mets before hitting the shelf last season.
