Mets set to welcome Jenrry Mejia back from suspension

Jenrry Mejia, who has yet to pitch in a big league game this season due to injury and a subsequent suspension for PED use, is set to return to the Mets on Tuesday in San Francisco.

Mejia was initially out to do an elbow issue, and was then suspended for 80 games due to using the steroid stanozolol.

While Mejia has been out, Jeurys Familia was inserted as closer and has dominated — converting 22 of 24 saves while posting a 1.16 ERA and 0.91 WHIP to go along with 40 strikeouts in 38.
