FORT MYERS — Left-handed pitcher A.J. Minter took a significant step in his recovery Thursday, pitching a scoreless inning with one strikeout for the Single-A St. Lucie Mets. This marked his first competitive appearance in nearly a year.
Minter has been sidelined for the past 50 weeks. His successful return to the mound signals progress in his rehabilitation and fuels optimism for a potential comeback by spring training.
“It’s good to see him ready to go today,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. “We started the clock, the recovery process, and he’s progressing well.”
Minter's performance against St. Lucie was clean, allowing no baserunners and showcasing his command of the strike zone. The team will continue to monitor Minter’s progress closely over the coming weeks, with the goal of having him fully prepared for the start of the next baseball season. His return would provide a valuable boost to the pitching staff.
