Jenrry Mejia (elbow) racked up six strikeouts over three innings during his first minor league rehab start with High-A St. Lucie on Friday.
Mejia has been on the disabled list for the entire season with inflammation in his pitching elbow. He's likely to require a relatively lengthy rehab assignment, and shouldn't be expected to return to the Mets until early June. Should he secure a spot in the Mets rotation, he could carve out a decent amount of value in NL-only and deeper mixed leagues. May 17 - 8:02 PM

Mets transferred RHP Jenrry Mejia from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

The move clears a spot for Rick Ankiel on the 40-man roster. Mejia has been on the disabled list all season with elbow inflammation and is just beginning a rehab assignment, so it won't have an impact on his timeline.

Mets placed RHP Jenrry Mejia on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 22, with elbow inflammation.

Jenrry Mejia was diagnosed with right elbow inflammation on Sunday and isn't expected to pitch in a game for six weeks.

Mejia hasn't pitched since March 11 due to what was originally termed as forearm tendinitis. The 23-year-old had Tommy John surgery in 2011, so the Mets don't want to take any chances. The plan calls for him to rest for two weeks before beginning a four-week throwing program. He'll pitch with Triple-A Las Vegas once he's back to full health.

Jenrry Mejia hasn't appeared in a game since Monday due to right forearm tendinitis.

It's been a challenge for Mejia to stay on the field this spring, as he arrived late to camp due to a visa issue and then needed to be flown to New York to be examined for a thyroid issue. Mejia had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in 2011, so the Mets aren't going to take any chances. It's not clear when he'll make his next appearance.

Jenrry Mejia is being examined for a thyroid issue, according to ESPN New York's Adam Rubin.

The issue was discovered during Mejia's spring physical. He yielded five runs (four earned) over just one inning in his Grapefruit League debut last month and hasn't pitched since. The young right-hander will open the 2013 season at Triple-A Las Vegas if he's healthy. If he's not, he'll probably hang back at extended spring training.
