A few Mets starting pitchers have already reported to camp this spring, and Zack Wheeler is one of them. The 27-year-old right-hander will be taking on his second Spring Training since coming back from Tommy John surgery, and he’s hopeful this one will finally set him up for success.
“It needed two full months of rest. I got that, and then I’ve been taking these shots every day for the past six months. The medicine is called Forteo and it is supposed to strengthen your bones, so hopefully that helps,’’ Wheeler told The New York Post’s Kevin Kerman.
